Baked Spaghetti

Updated: Sep 8, 2022

This baked spaghetti recipe is easy enough for a busy weeknight meal and will become a family favorite!

This delicious and easy recipe came from a friend at my very first full-time job. It is so good; you've got to give it a try! This Baked Spaghetti recipe is also a great meal for a family or friend in need.


How to Make Baked Spaghetti

Step 1: To make the spaghetti crust, start with one package of spaghetti and boil for 10 minutes, then drain. Move the cooked spaghetti to a 9x13 inch baking pan that has been prepared with non-stick cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix the milk and egg until fully combined and pour over the cooked spaghetti. Toss until spaghetti is coated with the egg and milk mixture. Set aside.

Step 2: In a large skillet cook the hamburger and Italian sausage until done. Drain excess fat and return to the skillet. Add the tomato sauce, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and allow it to simmer until the tomato sauce has thickened (about 10-15 minutes).

Step 3: Pour the meat mixture on top of the spaghetti in the 9x13 inch pan. Top with mozzarella cheese.

Step 4: Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until bubbly around the edges of the pan.

Step 5: Top with a little parsley (optional) and enjoy! Add a tossed salad and garlic bread and you've got the perfect meal!


Make-ahead and Freezing Instructions:

To make ahead: Make the Baked Spaghetti completely, but don’t bake it. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours, until ready to bake.

To Freeze: Prepare the Baked Spaghetti completely, but don’t bake it. Cool completely, then cover with a double layer of aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. (Spray the bottom layer of aluminum foil with non-stick cooking spray).

To bake from frozen, keep covered and bake for about 1 hour. Uncover and bake until heated through, about another 20-30 minutes.
