Baked Ziti (Freezer Meal)

Baked Ziti

1 pound dry ziti pasta
1 onion, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef (season with pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and
minced garlic)
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
8 slices provolone cheese
1 1/2 cups sour cream
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta, and cook
according to package directions. Drain.
2. In a large skillet, brown onion and ground beef over medium heat. Add spaghetti
sauce, and simmer 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 2 8x8 inch pans with non-stick cooking
spray. Layer as follows in each pan: 1/4 of the ziti, 1/4 of the sauce, 4 slices of
Provolone cheese, 1/2 of sour cream,  1/4 of ziti, 1/4 mozzarella cheese and 1/4 of
sauce mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and remaining mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake covered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheeses are melted. Each 8x8 serves 4-6.

 

We LOVED this meal!  And I'm so excited to have another one waiting in the freezer whenever we want it! This would be such a great meal to make for sick neighbors or for new moms.
