Spaghetti Casserole
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground round
1/2 cup chopped onion (1 small onion)
1 clove garlic, peeled and sliced
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1-1/2 cups of your favorite tomato-based pasta sauce
1 cup pre-shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
4 cups cooked spaghetti (8 ounces uncooked)
2 tablespoons pre-grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble in
ground beef and add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring and breaking up
lumps of meat, until beef is brown all over and cooked through, 4 to
5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and transfer beef to a large
mixing bowl. (If there is a lot of fat in the pan, drain mixture in
a strainer before transferring it.)
Add mushroom soup, pasta sauce, 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, cooked
spaghetti and 1/2 cup water; stir to mix.
Transfer spaghetti to a 13x9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish and
sprinkle all but 1 tablespoon of remaining Cheddar and 1 tablespoon
Parmesan on top.
Bake casserole until it bubbles and cheese has melted, 18 to 20
minutes. Sprinkle on remaining tablespoon of each cheese and serve
at once. Serves 4 - 6
