PREP TIME 20 Min
COOK TIME 35 Min
READY IN 55 Min
SERVINGS 8
1 pound dry ziti pasta
1 onion, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
6 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
1 1/2 cups sour cream
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes; drain.
In a large skillet, brown onion and ground beef over medium heat. Add spaghetti sauce, and simmer 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer as follows: 1/2 of the ziti, Provolone cheese, sour cream, 1/2 sauce mixture, remaining ziti, mozzarella cheese and remaining sauce mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheeses are melted.
MY NOTES: CROWD PLEASER! We made 5 batches of this to take to feed my daughter's soccer team (32 girls and 2 coaches) -- it made a ton -- enough to feed them (many came back for seconds) and had enough leftovers to feed my family of 6, her family of 5, and probably could have fed another family as well considering how much we have leftover. So, the serving portions might have been closer to 10, served with a green salad and a roll. Everyone loved it! Many of the girls said that it was the best lunch they'd had. This was the perfect dish to make in bulk -- bought bulk goods at Costco: Contandina canned spaghetti sauce -- used about 1 1/2 and froze the rest in two batches -- should be just enough for 2 spaghetti dinners, one 3 lb tub of sour cream, one bag of shredded mozzarella -- with a little left over.
These nutrition facts are based on using all mozzarella instead of provolone, 1 cup of ff sour cream and no parmesan cheese
