BAKED SPAGHETTI (CHEESY & SPICY)



Baked Spaghetti (Cheesy & Spicy) image

I know there are a lot of Baked Spaghetti recipes on Zaar, but this is one my sister and I came up with for our group study, and it was so good, I wanted to keep the recipe here. It makes a lot, but freezes well. You can also make it the night before and just pop it in the oven the next night.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h10m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 lb lean ground beef (browned)
1 cup onion
1/2 cup sweet red pepper, chopped
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
4 -6 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon butter
2 (10 ounce) cans rotel (If you like it spicer, use 3 cans of Rotel and leave out the diced tomatoes. That is what I did when)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
1 (4 ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
1 1/2 tablespoons dried basil
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
12 ounces cooked and drained spaghetti
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Queso Quesadilla & Asadero cheese combination)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
paprika

Steps:

  • Saute onion, peppers and garlic in 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until tender.
  • Add tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, hamburger meat, basil, oregano, salt and pepper and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Place 1/2 of the spaghetti in a greased 13x9x3 inch dish.
  • Top with half the meat sauce mixture.
  • Sprinkle with 2 cups of Fiesta Blend Cheese.
  • Repeat layers.
  • After second layer of cheddar cheese, sprinkle all the parmesan cheese on top.
  • Mix soup with water and pour over casserole. I used my finger to spread evenly so not to disturbe the cheese.
  • Sprinkle with paprika to garnish.
  • Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until heated through.
  • NOTE: I believe because of all the cheese in this recipe, there is extra liquid/water after the spaghetti is cut and allowed to sit. Don't worry about it. When the remaining dish is stored, just drain off extra liquid. It does not affect the taste of the recipe.

Provided by CALLIKO

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Casserole Recipes     Noodles

Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped

½ teaspoon seasoned salt
2 eggs
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir beef and onion until meat is browned and onions are soft and translucent, about 7 minutes. Drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt.
  • Whisk eggs, Parmesan cheese, and butter in a large bowl. Mix in spaghetti to egg mixture and toss to coat. Place half the spaghetti mixture into baking dish. Top with half the cottage cheese, mozzarella, and meat sauce. Repeat layers. Cover with aluminum foil.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of spaghetti. Long, thin spaghetti noodles are the best choice for this recipe, as they will hold the sauce well and cook evenly.
  • Cook the spaghetti al dente. This means that the spaghetti should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked spaghetti will be mushy and will not hold the sauce well.
  • Use a generous amount of sauce. The sauce is what makes this dish so delicious, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it. A good rule of thumb is to use about 2 cups of sauce for every pound of spaghetti.
  • Add your favorite toppings. This recipe is very versatile, so you can add whatever toppings you like. Some popular options include grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled sausage, cooked bacon, or chopped fresh basil.
  • Bake until bubbly and golden brown. The spaghetti is baked in the oven until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will help to create a crispy crust on top of the spaghetti and will also help to meld the flavors together.

Conclusion:

Baked spaghetti is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up any leftover spaghetti. With its cheesy, spicy sauce and crispy crust, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
