Baked Spaghetti

Ingredients:

8 oz spaghetti, cooked and drained

1 C grated parmesan cheese, divided

24 oz cottage cheese

1 and 1/2 jars of spaghetti sauce (about 36 ozs.)

12 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

1 pound ground beef

1/4 C chopped onion

1T margarine

Directions:

Put cooked spaghetti in a *large casserole dish and add 1/2 C parmesan cheese on top. Spread cottage cheese on top and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 C parmesan cheese. Cook the onion in 1 T margarine and then add the ground beef; cooking until no longer pink. Add the spaghetti sauce and heat until bubbly. Spoon meat and sauce mixture over the cottage cheese. Top with mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30 mins at 400 degrees. Remove foil and continue baking 15 mins or until cheese is lightly browned. Let stand 10 mins before serving.

Casserole dish size: I use a dish that is 12 1/4 x 10 1/2 x 2 1/2 (rare!) but I'm guessing a 9x13 will work.

My kids love this!
