Baked Spaghetti #2

  • 9

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare spaghetti according to package directions; drain, rinse, drain again, and set aside in large bowl.

Meanwhile, in large skillet, brown ground beef over medium-heat until no pink remains; drain off excess liquid. Add onions, peppers, and salt; cook 6 to 8 minutes, until vegetables are fork-tender. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Add to spaghetti; toss until well mixed.

Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray; cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake 50 minutes. Remove foil and bake 5 to 8 minutes, until top is crisp.

Notes:
You can adjust the ingredients and amounts to make casserole with your leftover spaghetti. And it's great topped with 3 cups (12 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese before baking to give it different flavor and texture
