Tasty Tuesday ( Ground Beef Spiral Bake)

Ground Beef Spiral Bake
( I got this recipe from Taste of Home)


  • 1 package (16 ounces) spiral pasta
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 2/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 jars (26 ounces each) spaghetti sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 cups (16 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

  • Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce, tomato paste, basil and oregano. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes.
  • Stir pasta into meat mixture. Transfer to two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes. Sprinkle each with 2 cups cheese. Cover and freeze one casserole for up to 3 months.
  • Bake the remaining casserole, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.
  • To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 2 casseroles (8 servings each).
