Baked Ziti

Baked Ziti

1 1/2 boxes of Penne Pasta
2 Jars of Spaghetti Sauce
2 lbs hamburger meat cooked and drained
1 onion diced
Garlic
Italian Seasoning
2 cups Mozzarella Cheese

Dice onion and cook with hamburger meat.  Add the Garlic and Italian Seasoning after you drain the grease.  Add the 2 jars of Spaghetti sauce to the seasoned hamburger meat.  Let this simmer until pasta is done.  In a large pot boil water to cook pasta.  Once the water starts to boil pour pasta in and set timer for 7 minutes.  Drain water and add pasta to the meat sauce.  Mix well.  I like to add 1 cup of Mozzarella Cheese to this.  Mix well.  Place in a 9x13 dish.  Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.  When you are ready to eat, let thaw for a couple of days.  Cook @350 for 30-45 minutes.  Then remove foil and cook for another 15 minutes.  If you cook it frozen, cook it for 1 hour and 45 minutes.  Then remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Label: Frozen bake @350 for 1 hour and 45 minutes.  Remove foil and bake for additional 15 minutes.  Thawed @ 350 for 30-45 minutes.  Remove foil and bake for additional 15 minutes.  Depending on how your oven is you can determine how long to bake.  Eat with garlic bread and salad.
