Spaghetti Pie
Preheat oven to 350°.
Grease a 9 x 13 pan.
In the 5 quart pot, boil:
- 14-16 oz spaghetti
- 1 tsp salt
- enough water to cover the pasta
Once the water boils, cook for 7-9 minutes until pasta is tender, then drain.
Add to pasta:
- 2/3 cup shredded cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Meanwhile, brown in skillet:
- 1-2 lbs ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped
Drain the meat and add to pan:
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 cups salsa or diced tomatoes
Bring to a boil and cook for 3-5 minutes.
Assemble by pressing the pasta into the 9 x 13 pan evenly, then spooning the beef mixture onto pasta.
On top, add:
- 2 cups shredded cheese
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Notes
Substitute spinach for the green pepper, cooking it separately and then adding it with the salsa/tomatoes or as a separate layer between the pasta and the meat.
