One of my Favorites!

This is one of my favorite comfort food casseroles...certainly not calorie free! :) Hope you all enjoy, we love it!
  • 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti (I like angel hair)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar meatless spaghetti sauce (I love Prego)
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (I never use this, but I am sure it would be good....there is plenty of flavor in the sauce)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 cups small curd cottage cheese
  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, Parmesan cheese and butter. Drain spaghetti; add to egg mixture and toss to coat.
  3. Place half of the spaghetti mixture in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Top with half of the cottage cheese, meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

*this is also a GREAT dish to make 24 hours before cooking....just store in fridge! perfect for entertaining!
