Baked Spaghetti

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
  
• 5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Directions:

Step 1: Gather all ingredients. Lightly grease dutch oven.

Step 2: Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.

Step 3: Cook and stir beef and onion in preheated dutch oven, or on separate skillet, until meat is browned and onion is soft and translucent.

Step 4: Drain excess oil; stir spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt.

Step 5: Whisk eggs, parmesan, and butter in a large bowl. Add spaghetti and toss to coat.

Step 6: Place 1/2 of the spaghetti mixture in the prepared dutch oven. Top with 1/2 of the cottage cheese, 2 cups mozzarella, and 1/2 of the meat sauce. Repeat layers.

Step 7: Bake in dutch oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, remove lid and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup of mozzarella.

Step 8: Continue to bake until cheese is melted and lightly browned - 20 to 25 minutes.
