Baked Spaghetti


Taylor's Favorite!

12 oz. spaghetti - broken in half and cooked (I just use left over spaghetti noodles)
8 oz. mozzarella mixed with 8 oz. colby jack cheese (or more if you're a cheesaholic)
4 oz. shredded Parmesan cheese for the very top of the casserole.
1.5 lbs. ground beef, cooked with 1 c. chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic finely chopped, and 1/2 c. sliced mushrooms,
then add 2 LARGE cans/bottles of your favorite spaghetti sauce (homemade or store bought)
Let sauce and meat simmer on low for 20-25 minutes.

Layer noodles, cheese, then sauce two times in a 9x13 pan. Top with 1/2 c. shredded parmesan. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Makes A LOT!

Most of the time, I use my left over spaghetti and left over spaghetti sauce and just layer... noodles, cheese, sauce (twice) and top with parmesan cheese. SUPER EASY dish to do with that leftover spaghetti.

These two sauces are my favorite. The Prego is sweet and the Hunts is more italian.
