Baked Spaghetti for a crowd

 
My Mother in Law turned 85 Sunday so we surprised her with a party. I had to bring the main dish so we decided on baked spaghetti. I figured we would need two large pans.I also made some garlic bread to go with it. and we had a green salad.

Baked Spaghetti for a crowd.

2 pounds hamburger
1 cup chopped onions
4 1lb cottage cheese
8 cups shredded cheese
1 cup Parmesan cheese
½ cup oregano
1 teaspoon each of ground thyme, ground rosemary, ground marjoram.
1 Tbl. Salt
1 Tbl garlic salt
Large can of Tomato sauce (6 lb 10 oz)
2 16 oz packages of noodles ( spaghetti or fettuccine )

　

　


First I browned 2 pounds hamburger then added about a cup of chopped onions I used my frozen onions so it saved me chopping them.

 

 Mix this then add ½ cup dried oregano 1 teaspoon each of ground Thyme, ground Rosemary, ground Marjoram, 1 Tablespoon Salt and 1 tablespoon Garlic salt.

Add a # 10 can of Tomato sauce ( 6 lb 10 oz ) .

let simmer.

 
While simmering spray some oil in your pans.

Cook your noodles I used 3 packages that was two much so next time I will use 2. I cooked them in my roaster since there was so much I just put it on two burners.

While the noodles are cooking put 3 small containers of cottage cheese in the food processor.

Process until smooth.
 

 

 Then add about a cup of Grated cheese and a cup of parmesan cheese blend all together.

 

 Drain cooked noodles

 Put a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of the pans.

 
Add a layer of noodles.

 Then a layer of the cottage cheese mixture

 
Then add a layer of shredded cheese repeat this one more time.end with sauce on top then add a layer of gratted cheese.

Cover and bake at 350 for 1 hour. I forgot to get a pic of the finished dish.

You can use jar sauce if you want and I had to use fettuccine noodle instead of spaghetti because that was what I had .
