Baked Ziti

Jim's favorite food (other than chicken nuggets) is Italian: spaghetti, lasagna, chicken parmesan, chicken fettucini alfredo, etc. So we had to try a baked ziti recipe (we used egg noodles instead). It was great! We will definitely be adding this to our main dinner rotations.

Baked Ziti

Ingredients:
1 bag of Egg Noodles
1 extra large can of tomato sauce (can buy pre-made spaghetti sauce, I usually just use a can of tomato sauce and add Italian seasonings)
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, Italian cheese, provolone, parmesan or combination of all
1 1/2 lbs hamburger meat

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350*. Brown the meat & drain. Also, cook the noodles and drain. Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 casserole dish. Layer half the noodles and then half the meat, half of the sauce and half of the cheese. Then layer the rest of the noodles, the meat, the sauce, and the cheese. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes. Let cool for 10-15 minutes so that it can settle.
