Baked Spaghetti
7/14/2014

We have found a number of very good recipes in the Taste of Home Almost Homemade book. This is yet another.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pkg (16 oz) spaghetti
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef (we used 93% lean)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
  • 1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 Tb brown sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried marjoram
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/8 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 cup (4 oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided

    1. Break spaghetti in half, cook according to directions

    2. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, cook the beef, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain

    3. Stir in the soups, tomato sauce, water, brown sugar and seasonings

    4. Drain spaghetti; stir into the meat sauce

    5. Add 1/2 cup cheese

    6. Transfer to a greased 13x9 inch baking dish

    7. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes

    8. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining cheese

    9. Bake another 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.

    This makes 12 servings! We kind of didn't notice that part, or we would have halved the ingredients. Now we're left with a ton of leftovers. Very good leftovers, to be sure! We each rated this 8/10.

    Total calories for this dish is 3,047, or 254 per serving. I'm surprised at how low the calorie count is. Using 93% lean ground beef certainly helped.
