Baked Spaghetti

Many years ago, on one of my family's many trips to K&W Cafeteria, I had a meal they called Pizza Baked Spaghetti.  It was delicious.  I hated going to K&W, but meals like those made it bearable. Tonight, when trying to figure out what to make for dinner, I thought that Baked Spaghetti would hit the spot. 

Not having a recipe for this, I decided it couldn't be that hard.  All I have to do is make spaghetti, put it in a casserole dish, cover it with cheese and bake it.  It could be that easy, right?  Guess what! It really is that easy. 

Ross's Baked Spaghetti

1 1/2 pounds ground beef

8 oz. vermicelli pasta

26 oz. sauce

Oregano

Basil

Chives

Worcestershire Sauce

2 cups freshly shredded Parmesan

2 cups freshly shredded Mozzarella

Pepperoni Slices (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cook pasta according to package directions and drain. Meanwhile, brown beef and add sauce and dried spices and Worcestershire to taste. Mix Parmesan into sauce. Mix sauce with cooked pasta and pour into 13x9 casserole dish. Cover with mozzarella (and slices of pepperoni) and bake for 15-20 minutes or when cheese begins to bubble. 

Unfortunately, I don't keep pepperoni on hand, so I'll have to get some and try this again soon. I can't wait because I'm sure it will be very tasty.  Try this, I'm sure you'll enjoy!!
