Our Family Favorite - Spaghetti Pie

Well I've been missing in action lately, kind of lost my mojo and had some stuff going on.

No health issues but rather employment issues. The job that I started last month ended up

not being a good fit and I quit without finding another job.

But things are good now, I start a new job on Nov 5th and the pay is great.

The downside is going to be the hours that I'll be working, 1:30 pm to 10 pm, which should be interesting because I have never been a night person.

I would never work these kind of hours if I had kids at home.

Crossing my fingers that it won't take long to get more normal working hours.

So I've been a little preoccupied lately!

 

As I was working on our weekly menu, I decided to make one of our family favorites, spaghetti pie.

My kids still ask me to make this when they come home and so I thought I'd share it with you today.

 

First up is the menu for this week, took me about 5 minutes to put together

and the grocery list is all ready.

 

If you're wondering why I list Wednesday as a free night, my hubby works and

so I eat leftovers. I love leftovers, don't you?

 

Monday: Crock pot chicken and dumplings

Tuesday:Spaghetti Pie (recipe at bottom of post)

Wednesday: FREE

Thursday: Slow cooked pork chops

Friday: Pizza

Saturday: Taco pasta bake



 

Spaghetti Pie

 

Cook 6 oz spaghetti

 

Mix together:

2 T margarine

2 eggs

1/3 c parmesan cheese

1 c cottage cheese

 

Add egg, cheese mixture to hot spaghetti and mix together.

 

Form into crust in greased 9" pie pan.

 

Brown 1 lb hamburger and drain.

 

Mix in:

6 oz tomato paste (I add a little water so the mixture isn't so thick)

1 T sugar

1/2 t oregano

1/2 t garlic salt

 

Cover spaghetti with meat mixture just as you would when making a pizza.

Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees, covered.

Uncover and spread 1/2 c shredded mozz cheese and bake 5 more minutes.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful week!
