Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti noodles
- 1 pound ground beef
- 26 ounces jar spaghetti sauce
- 16 ounces jar alfredo sauce
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare the spaghetti noodles according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain them very well.
- While the pasta cooks, add the ground beef to a large saucepan. Brown the beef, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain away the excess grease.
- Return the cooked ground beef to the pan. Pour in the spaghetti sauce and stir until the beef and sauce are thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the drained spaghetti noodles back to their pot. Add the Alfredo sauce and Italian seasoning.
- Stir thoroughly so that all of the spaghetti is evenly coated with the Alfredo mixture.
- Transfer the coated spaghetti to the prepared 9 x 13-inch baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- Spoon the ground beef and spaghetti sauce mixture over the pasta.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the casserole is hot and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and allow the baked spaghetti to cool for about 5–8 minutes before slicing.
