Baked Ziti
1 16 ounce package ziti $.89
1 lb ground beef $2.49
1 onion chopped $.50
1 red bell pepper chopped $1.29
1 8 ounce can mushrooms $.68
2 cloves garlic $.33
1 T Italian seasoning $.10
1 20 ounce can crushed tomato $1.67
S&P
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese $3.99
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a large pasta pot, set 6-8 quarts water over high heat. When it’s hot, add salt for flavor and cook ziti 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. When it’s hot, add in 1 pound ground beef. Allow it to brown up nicely, about 5-7 minutes. When the meat has browned, add onions and red pepper. Allow veggies to cook for a few minutes to soften up, about 5. Next add in your garlic, mushrooms, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes and pour in your tomatoes. Sprinkle with S&P. Bring to a boil, then knock the heat back to low and allow to simmer until your pasta is ready.
Drain pasta and add it to your sauce. Sprinkle in 1 cup of cheese and mix well. Pour into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cup of mozzarella cheese on top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
