Baked Ziti
|
1 pound ground beef |
|
1 small onion, chopped |
|
1 small green bell pepper, chopped |
|
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
|
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste |
|
1 (4.5 ounce) jar sliced mushrooms, undrained |
|
1 teaspoon salt |
|
½ teaspoon dried basil |
|
¼ teaspoon garlic powder |
|
¼ teaspoon dried oregano |
|
¼ teaspoon dried crushed red pepper |
|
8 ounces ziti, cooked |
|
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese |
Cook ground beef, onion, and green pepper until beef is no longer pink; drain and return to skillet.
Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, mushrooms, and all spices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Stir in cooked pasta and put into 13 x 9 casserole. Bake 20 minutes, at 350 deg., top with mozzarella cheese, and bake another 15 minutes at 350 deg.
NOTE: I found this in Southern Living 2001 but I don’t know which month. I fixed the entire recipe and baked only half of it. The recipe called for rotini or ziti and also called for mixing the cheese into the casserole and then baking it. I chose to use ziti and topped the casserole with the cheese. The other half I just froze before baking and we’ll have another time.
