Baked Spaghetti

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti

1 pound ground beef

1 onion, chopped

1 (32 ounce) jar meatless spaghetti sauce

½ teaspoon seasoned salt

2 eggs

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

5 tablespoons butter, melted

2 cups small curd cottage cheese

5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Directions

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir beef and onion in the hot skillet until meat is browned and onion is soft and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Drain excess oil from the pan; stir in spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt.

Whisk eggs, Parmesan, and butter in a large bowl. Add spaghetti and toss to coat.

Place 1/2 of the spaghetti mixture in the prepared baking dish. Top with 1/2 of the cottage cheese, 2 cups mozzarella, and 1/2 of the meat sauce. Repeat layers. Cover with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella.

Continue to bake until cheese is melted and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
