8
ingredients
- 907.18 g jar meatless sauce, any flavor
- 396.89 g can del monte diced tomatoes with green pepper and onion (do not drain)
- 453.59 g ground beef
- 1 medium onion
- 1 box angel hair pasta or 1 box spaghetti, whichever floats your boat
- 226.79 g bag shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 236.59 ml shredded mozzarella cheese
directions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Break the pasta into 3 inch lengths, then cook according to package directions, rinse& drain.
- While the pasta is cooking, dice the onion and brown it with the ground beef until no longer pink.
- Drain any excess grease.
- Stir the spaghetti sauce and diced tomatoes in with the beef mixture, simmer for a few minutes until thickened.
- Stir in the pasta, and then stir in the cheddar cheese, mixing until cheese is completely melted.
- I would suggest using a pasta server to do this, it just works better.
- Personally, I use the olive oil flavored Pam to grease my baking pan.
- I usually divide this between 2 8 inch square pans, and I line one with tinfoil so I can freeze it for another night.
- So, either do that, or put the whole mix into a sprayed 13x9 pan.
- Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.
- Then sprinkle your mozzarella on top and bake for about 15 more minutes or until the mozzarella has melted to your liking.
- Dig in!

This is the best baked spaghetti I ever had. I had to make myself not eat the whole pot of spaghetti. I brung this to a social and there were 3 different types of spagetti on the table but everybody kept coming for mine. Part of me didn't want anyone to eat any of it so I could take it home and eat it myself. Thanks so much for this wonderful and delicious recipe.

I’ve been making this for years. Cheesy comfort food. BUT I use 2 jars of Classico sauce. Otherwise it’s really dry & tasteless. I’ve been known to add roasted poblanos for a kick. This time, I used a can of fire roasted tomatoes with garlic. That was nice. The kids LOVE this. It makes a ton. Lasts a couple days. Heats up nice.

I just made this for the third time, I think. Didn't make notes the other two times about the amount of spaghetti I used. I cooked about 16oz. this time, but wasn't able to use it all. I would recommend using no more than 13.25 oz. which most boxes contain these days. Mine was a little dry and not quite as tasty as i would have liked. I think I will add some more Italian seasoning or basil next time. I cooked the baked spaghetti about 8 minutes after adding the mozzarella topping- didn't think it needed full 15 minutes.

Very simple dinner recipe! I used a can of del monte diced tomatoes (couldn't find w/green pepper and onion). I substituted whole wheat noodles and the ground beef with with a blend of ground turkey/beef from our grocery store. I also added some garlic salt, next time I'll add a little more salt for extra flavor. The recipe made a lot - leftovers were good too!
