Baked Spaghetti

This is one of my all-time favorite recipes. It is so good, and I swear it is better after sitting in the fridge for a day or two.


Baked Spaghetti

12 oz cooked spaghetti (I use whole wheat)
1/2 c butter
2 c sour cream (I use the reduced-fat variety)
1 c grated Parmesan
3 eggs, well beaten
11/2 lbs ground beef (you know I always use 96/4)
1 c chopped onion
1 c chopped green pepper
8 oz shredded mozzarella
2 15 oz cans tomato sauce
2 6 oz cans tomato paste
2 T sugar
1/3 c water
Minced garlic, basil, parsley and oregano to taste

To make sauce: Cook beef, onions and peppers. Drain well. Stir in tomato sauce and paste, sugar, water and seasonings. Heat well.

Stir butter, Parmesan and eggs into chopped, cooked spaghetti. Form into a crust and cover the bottom of a buttered 9 x 13 pan. Spread sour cream on top of spaghetti crust. Top with sauce, cover with mozzarella. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
