• total: 1 hr 30 mins
• Servings: 8
• Yield: 1 9×13-inch casserole

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 (32 ounce) jar meatless spaghetti sauce
• ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
• 2 eggs
• ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 5 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 cups small curd cottage cheese

Baking Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
3. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir beef and onion in the hot skillet until meat is browned and onion is soft and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess oil from the pan; stir in spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt.
4. Whisk eggs, Parmesan, and butter in a large bowl. Add spaghetti and toss to coat.
5. Place 1/2 of the spaghetti mixture in the prepared baking dish. Top with 1/2 of the cottage cheese, 2 cups mozzarella, and 1/2 of the meat sauce. Repeat layers. Cover with aluminum foil.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella. Continue to bake until cheese is melted and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
