5-INGREDIENT BAKED ZITI

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pound ground beef
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 8 ounce package of ziti cooked and drained
• 28 ounce jar of spaghetti sauce
• 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet.
3. Add the garlic salt while browning, stirring until crumbly.
4. When the beef is brown on the inside and outside, drain well. Return to pan and add the spaghetti sauce. 
5. Mix the ziti noodles with the spaghetti and meat sauce.
6. Spoon into a 9x13 inch baking dish and top with mozzarella cheese.
7. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Notes:

• Time Saver: brown the meat a day or two in advance and cook the noodles. Store both ingredients in separate containers.
• Freezer Tips: To freeze, assemble the casserole (to include cheese) in a disposable 9x13 aluminum pan. Do not bake. Wrap the pan tightly with saran wrap and again with aluminum foil. Label with production date. When ready to eat, place frozen casserole in the refrigerator overnight, then bake as directed the following day. (Remove saran wrap before baking!)
