I just love baked ziti and it's one of the best! It's a 5 star recipe I make all the time and don't have the instructions, just the ingredients I use. It's the same process for making lasagna or any italian dish. It makes a huge amount that you can reheat for meals all week long!! Cook your noodles, drain while cooking the meat at the same time and draining it. Then add the sauces and cheeses. Combine it all. Bake 45-50 min. @425 or 2 hrs. on high in crock pot.
Baked Ziti
- 1 lb. ziti (I use rigatoni alot of times in with it, half and half)
- 1 onion
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 2 jars spaghetti sauce (I use Italian Garden)
- 6 oz. provolone cheese
- 1-1/2 cup sour cream
- 6 oz. mozzarella, shredded
- 2 TBSP. parmesan
** To make the Italian version, substitute ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese) for the sour cream (mix an egg in the ricotta), use a slice of mozzarella for the top and add lots of Italian seasonings, i.e., basil, oregano, garlic, Italian seasoning mix, parsley and add 1/2 lb. Italian sausage, cooked and drained.
You will get rave reviews for this dish! Most of the time I halve the recipe. Enjoy!!!
