Spaghetti Pie

(makes 2)

*I usually make 2 and freeze one for later. When you cook the frozen one, pull it out the day before and put it in the fridge over night. Set it out an hour or two before you plan to bake it. Bake it on 350 for about 45-60 minutes.

1 lb ground beef

1 medium onion, chopped

1 jar spaghetti sauce (I like tomato and basil flavored)

1/2 tsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. oregano

1/2 tsp. garlic salt

16 oz. cottage cheese

8 oz. spaghetti noodles

2 Tbs. butter

1/3 c. parmesan cheese

1 egg, beaten

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 c. mozzarella cheese

Brown the hamburger and onion. In the mean time cook the noodles according to package. Once the hamburger is cooked, add the sauce, oregano, sugar, and garlic salt. Cook until heated through.

When the pasta is done, drain, then add the butter, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and the beaten egg. Divide the pasta in two equal portions and spread in the bottom of two pie plates.

On top of noodles, spread the cottage cheese, and then the sauce (remember to divide evenly). Bake at 350 for 20 minutes then sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese and bake for another 10 minutes. (*When freezing, just add the mozzarella cheese and freeze it, it doesn’t really matter when baking, it will just be a little crispier!)
