Spaghetti Pie ~ Video

This is a recipe that I’ve been making for years.  It tasted like a cross between spaghetti, pizza & lasagna.  It’s easy to make, and really doesn’t take much prep time.  I hope you enjoy it.

6 oz. spaghetti (cooked, rinsed & drained)

2 tbs. butter

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 eggs (well beaten)

1 cup cottage cheese (8 oz.)

1 # ground beef

½ cup chopped onion

¼ cup chopped green pepper

1 (8 oz) can diced tomatoes

1 (6 0z.) can tomato paste

1 tsp. sugar

1 tsp dried oregano, crushed

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp. onion powder

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook spaghetti according to pkg. directions, drain. (About 3 cups)

Stir butter into hot spaghetti.  Stir in Parmesan cheese & eggs.  Form spaghetti in mixture into a ‘crust’ in a buttered 10” pie plate.  Spread cottage cheese over bottom of spaghetti crust.

In a skillet, cook ground beef, onion & green pepper until vegetables are tender & meat is browned.  Drain off excess fat.  Stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, garlic & onion powder.  Heat through.

Turn meat mixture into the spaghetti crust.  Bake, uncovered, in a 350º oven for 20 minutes.  Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese melts.

Makes 6 servings.
