Spaghetti Casserole Recipe

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb hamburger meat

1 box Penne or Rotini twists

2 jars of pizza sauce or 1 large can of spaghetti sauce, whatever I have on hand

1 tsp. garlic powder

½ tsp. onion powder

2 tsp. season salt, more or less to taste, may want to start with 1 tsp. and go from there (we use 2)

2 c. mozzarella cheese, more or less as desire

Directions

Prepare the noodles per the instructions o the box. While they are cooking, cook the hamburger meat and drain. Add seasonings and sauces to the cooked meat. Then mix it with the pasta and put into a 9x7 or 9x13 basking dish. I often use 2 disposable 8x8 pans and cook one and freeze the 2nd for later. Top with the cheese and bake at 350 for 20 mins or until cheese is melted.

If your family is less picky you can add peppers, olives, mushrooms, etc to the casserole, plain works great here. I also make it without the meat many times too.

If you freeze one I just put it frozen in the oven at 350 for 1-1.5 hours and presto an easy meal with no work!
