Spaghetti Pie


I made this a few months ago for the first time and it was a huge hit.  Tim asked that it be put on the regular rotation.  There are a lot of similar recipes out there, but this is the way we like it here.   I like it because it's a nice variation of the classic spaghetti dinner.  


1 lb Lean Hamburger
1 Small Onion, Diced
1 (14.5oz) Can Diced Tomatoes
1-2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 C Mushrooms
1 (28oz) Jar of your favorite Spaghetti Sauce
1 (16oz) Box of Spaghetti
2 C Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded and Divided
1 C Parmasen Cheese
3 Eggs, Beaten
1 T Olive Oil
2 tsp Garlic Powder


In a large sauce pan, brown hamburger with the onions until the hamburger is browned and the onions clear.  Add, diced tomatoes, mushrooms, spaghetti sauce and Italian seasoning.  Simmer 10 minutes


Meanwhile, in large pot cook spaghetti until done and drain.  In a large bowl combine eggs, olive oil, garlic powder, 1 cup mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.  Pour spaghetti into mixture and combine well.  Coat a 13X9 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and line the bottom of the pan with the spaghetti mixture.  Pull some of the pasta up the sides of the pan to make an edge and a well in the center of the pan.  Then pour in the sauce mixture and spread evenly over the spaghetti.  Top with remaining mozzarella cheese then place into a 350 degree oven and bake 20 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned and the sides are bubbling.


Let sit a few minutes before cutting.

It always seems like Tim enjoys the easiest meals the best.  We love this one!  Try it, you'll like it!
