\"Baked<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a very simple recipe, but it tastes great!\u00a0 It’s a nice solution for those weeknights after work when you’re wondering what to make with the pound of ground beef in the fridge.\u00a0 You probably have all of this stuff in your pantry and fridge already, that’s one reason why I love it!\u00a0 I found this online and then tweaked it because my husband and I are picky eaters…\u00a0 I hope you enjoy! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

What you need:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 – 8 oz package of spaghetti, cooked<\/p>\n

2 tbsp of butter<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese, divided into 1\/2 cups<\/p>\n

1 – 8 oz package shredded cheddar cheese<\/p>\n

1 – 8 oz package shredded mozzarella cheese<\/p>\n

1 lb ground beef<\/p>\n

1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce (the one I used was 24 oz)<\/p>\n

13×9 baking dish<\/p>\n

Cooking Spray<\/p>\n

Pot or bowl for mixing spaghetti and butter<\/p>\n

Spoon<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray baking dish with cooking spray.<\/p>\n

Brown ground beef, drain and mix with spaghetti sauce, then set aside.<\/p>\n

Combine the hot cooked spaghetti with butter and stir until butter melts and coats the spaghetti.\u00a0 Add 1\/2 cup parmesan cheese, stir.<\/p>\n

Arrange spaghetti in an even layer in the baking dish.\u00a0 Then cover with the entire package of cheddar cheese and sprinkle that with 1\/2 cup of parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n

Cover that layer with the browned ground beef and spaghetti sauce mixture.\u00a0 Top that with the entire package of mozzarella cheese and then remaining 1\/2 cup of parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.\u00a0 Remove the foil cover and continue baking 15 minutes or until cheese is as brown as you would like.<\/p>\n

Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n

Yum!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

God is great, God is good… let us thank Him for our food!<\/p>\n
