Baked Spaghetti

I tried this recipe for the first time tonight and it was a hit. Really quick and easy and the kids really liked it.

Ingredients:

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 (32 ounce) jar meatless spaghetti sauce (I actually made my normal spaghetti sauce)
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
5 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups small curd cottage cheese, divided
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir beef and onion until meat is browned and onions are soft and translucent, about 7 minutes. Drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt.

4. Whisk eggs, Parmesan cheese, and butter in a large bowl. Mix in spaghetti to egg mixture and toss to coat.

5. Place half the spaghetti mixture into baking dish. Top with half the cottage cheese, mozzarella, and meat sauce. Repeat layers. Cover with aluminum foil.

6. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes longer.

Quick Chicken A La King

This is one of my husbands favorites. It is also really quick and easy. I make this anytime I have left over chicken or turkey. You can also use canned chicken and it tastes just as good.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup diced green pepper

1/2 tbsp butter

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 1/4 cup milk

3 cups of chicken or turkey cubed

1 tbsp pimientos

dash of pepper

Directions:

Start off by cubing your Chicken or Turkey. I make this a lot when I have left overs after Thanksgiving or other times I cook a large turkey or chicken.
