Recipe: Spaghetti Pie

Just right, so simple, and delicious. Thank you, E-Mealz. We may never go back to regular spaghetti again.

Spaghetti Pie

1 lb. cooked thin spaghetti
1.3 lbs. ground beef - cooked and drained
26 oz. pasta sauce
16 oz. cottage cheese
2 c shredded mozzarella
3 beaten eggs
1/2 c butter
3/4 c parmesan cheese

Boil pasta, drain. Meanwhile, cook ground beef, drain. Add butter, parmesan cheese, and eggs to the pasta. In a 9x13 sprayed dish, spread the pasta mixture to form a crust. Spread cottage cheese over the pasta, then ground beef, then pasta sauce. Bake uncovered at 325 for 60 minutes. Top w/mozzarella cheese and return to oven for 5 minutes or until melted. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

Smells great while cooking. Tastes great while eating. Makes less mess for uncoordinated kiddo hands that struggle to manage forks/spoons. Love that.
