How to Make Baked Spaghetti
Step 1: To make the spaghetti crust, start with one package of spaghetti and boil for 10 minutes, then drain. Move the cooked spaghetti to a 9x13 inch baking pan that has been prepared with non-stick cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix the milk and egg until fully combined and pour over the cooked spaghetti. Toss until spaghetti is coated with the egg and milk mixture. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large skillet cook the hamburger and Italian sausage until done. Drain excess fat and return to the skillet. Add the tomato sauce, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and allow it to simmer until the tomato sauce has thickened (about 10-15 minutes).
Step 3: Pour the meat mixture on top of the spaghetti in the 9x13 inch pan. Top with mozzarella cheese.
Step 4: Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until bubbly around the edges of the pan.
Step 5: Top with a little parsley (optional) and enjoy! Add a tossed salad and garlic bread and you've got the perfect meal!
