Baked Ziti

Hello ladies! Here is a recipe for baked ziti (at the request of Mel!) I have made this for several people and it always gets compliments. It makes a ton, so you will be eating leftovers for awhile :)

Ingredients:

1 box of baked ziti (I use penne pasta because I think it tastes better)

1 onion chopped (I leave this out because my husband is anti-onions)

1 pound lean ground beef

2 (26 oz) jars of spaghetti sauce (I use one giant gar)

6 ounces provolone cheese, sliced

1 and 1/2 cups of sour cream

6 ounces mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Cook the pasta, drain

Brown the beef and onion together, once cooked, add the spaghetti sauce and let simmer

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Butter a 9x13 pan and layer as follows:

1/2 of the pasta

provolone cheese (I just completely cover the pasta, I don't go by measurements)

sour cream (again, I just scoop it in and cover the cheese, I don't measure)

1/2 sauce mixture

rest of the pasta

mozzarella cheese (I use a lot of cheese, sometimes the whole bag)

remaining sauce mixture

Top with parmesan cheese

Bake for 30 minutes or until cheeses are melted.

My boys love this and gobble it up.... I think Matthew could be in a ziti-eating contest he loves this so much!
