Provided by The Seasoned Mom

Categories     Dinner

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small onion
1 lb. lean ground beef
Salt and pepper (to taste (I used about ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper))
3 cups homemade or store-bought marinara sauce
8 ounces uncooked spaghetti
½ cup grated cheese (I used a blend of Italian cheeses, but just mozzarella cheese or just cheddar cheese would work too)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. A deep 11 x 7-inch dish works well, but you can also use a 9 x 13-inch dish.
  • Heat about 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sautee onion until just tender (about 3-5 minutes). Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Drain fat from the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and stir in marinara sauce.
  • Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain.
  • Add cooked pasta to the meat sauce and stir to combine.
  • Pour into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, for about 25-30 minutes.

CLASSIC BAKED SPAGHETTI



Classic Baked Spaghetti image

I looked everywhere for an easy baked spaghetti that did NOT use mushrooms or cream of mushroom soup (husband is allergic). I am happy to say I found it. You could add mushrooms, green pepper, olives, etc. to this dish for added variety, but I like it just the way it is! This makes a great family meal...just add a tossed salad and some garlic bread, and dinner is ready in about an hour.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Use the best quality spaghetti, olive oil, tomatoes, and spices that you can find.
  • Don't overcook the spaghetti: Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spaghetti will be mushy and won't hold its shape well in the casserole.
  • Use a good quality tomato sauce: You can use your favorite store-bought tomato sauce, or make your own from scratch. If you're using a store-bought sauce, be sure to choose one that is thick and flavorful.
  • Layer the ingredients carefully: When assembling the casserole, layer the ingredients carefully so that they are evenly distributed. This will help ensure that each bite is packed with flavor.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown: Bake the casserole in a preheated oven until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will take about 30 minutes.
