Baked Spaghetti

Taken from Blair's Bites.  [I had a basic idea of how to make baked spaghetti, but couldn't find a specific recipe that didn't require me to run to the grocery store. I whipped this up, taking the basics of all baked spaghetti recipes.]

Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey (or beef)
16 oz spaghetti noodles
1 lb, 10 oz spaghetti sauce
cheese (I used cheddar and mozzarella)
1/4 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
__________________________________________________________________
Directions:
1. Spray the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with Pam & preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Brown the turkey/beef in a pan. Drain any fat. Stir in chopped garlic & onion. Stir in half of spaghetti sauce. Turn to low & simmer.
3. While the turkey simmers, boil the noodles al dente for about 10 minutes. You don't want to have them thoroughly cooked, as you will also be baking them.
4. Spread half the noodles on the bottom of the pan. Top with half the turkey mixture and 1/2 the remaining spaghetti sauce. Spread cheese on top.
5. Spread the remaining half noodles on top of this. Top with the remaining turkey mixture, spaghetti sauce, and top again with cheeses.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until hot & bubbly.


*To freeze, just stop after Step 5. When you're ready to eat, pull out & thaw overnight, then bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes.*
