Baked Spaghetti

My friend Robin brought us her baked spaghetti after we had Hudson, and we ate it all. in one night. {To our defense she brought a 8x8 pan, but I might have had 3 servings} Delicious! I asked Robin for the recipe and made it this week. I didn’t take pictures, but it’s delicious {and easy} try it!

Baked Spaghetti

1 lb hamburger meat

1 jar of spaghetti sauce

2 eggs

1 cup of parmesan cheese

4 tsp butter

8 oz thin spaghetti

16 oz. cottage cheese

2 cups of mozzarella cheese

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Boil spaghetti according to package directions
  • Brown your hamburger meat, drain, and add spaghetti sauce
  • Mix 2 eggs, softened butter, and Parmesan cheese. After the spaghetti is cooked drain and add to this mixture.
  • Add the spaghetti mixture to a greased 9x13 pan.
  • Add the 16 oz of cottage on top of the spaghetti mixture
  • Top with meat and sauce mixture
  • Bake for 20 minutes; should be bubbly
  • Add the 2 cups of mozzarella and bake an additional 5 minutes.

Today I got very motivated and made a few things for the freezer. I bought 8x8 aluminum pans and split this recipe. I’m not sure about the cooking times yet, but I’m excited about having dinner made ahead for another evening! I’ll let you know how it tastes from the freezer.

Molten Chocolate Cake

So not everything we’ve made has been gourmet around here, but it’s been fun trying new things.  And this is as good as Chili’s-I got this recipe at the Pampered Chef party last week.  And let me just say it’s delicious {and easy}-especially with vanilla bean ice cream! 

First you spread a can of chocolate icing in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.

Then mix a box of chocolate cake mix according to the box directions and pour on top.

Then you bake on 350 for about 40 minutes.  I’m telling you delicious and EASY!  Yum!
