FRIENDSHIP CASSEROLE
2 pounds of ground beef, browned
1 jar 48 oz of your favorite spaghetti sauce
16 oz bag of medium egg noodles
½ cup butter
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
12 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 350º
Brown meat and drain fat. Then put the meat back in the skillet. Add
spaghetti sauce to meat; simmer for 20 minutes.
Cook noodles as directed on the package (cook to al dente); then drain and
toss the noodles with butter, seasonings, and parmesan cheese. Spray two
9×13 pans with non-stick spray.
In each pan layer one-quarter of the sauce, half of the noodles, then split the remaining sauce between the two. Top each with half of the mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil; bake 45 minutes.
*You can also add some sauteed green bell peppers, onions, and
mushrooms to the sauce. I added mushrooms after checking with my friend to make sure she liked them, too
