A spaghetti casserole recipe made with ground beef, seasonings, tomato sauce, and cheese.

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chuck
  • 1 can (14 to 16 ounces) tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 ounces thin spaghetti
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)

Preparation:

In a large skillet over medium low heat, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until onion is tender. Add ground beef, stirring to break up. Cook until meat is cooked; drain off fat. Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, parsley and seasonings. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cook spaghetti as directed on package; drain well then stir into meat mixture. Place half of the spaghetti and meat mixture in a 2-quart casserole; sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese. Repeat with remaining spaghetti mixture and cheeses.

Bake at 350° for 25 to 35 minutes.
Serves 4 to 6.

"This was a nice change, having it like baked mac & chesse but with spaghetti and meat sauce. I would make it again but I would add more meat."
