Quick and Easy Baked Ziti
- 1 box Ziti Noodles (16 Oz)
- 1 pound 93/7 Ground Beef
- 2 Tablespoons Minced Onion (you Can Use Fresh If You Prefer)
- 2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder (or Minced Garlic, If You Prefer)
- 1 jar Favorite Pasta Sauce - 26 Oz (I Prefer Prego Mushroom)
- 1 block Whole Milk Mozzarella Cheese - 16 Oz (the Really Soft Stuff)
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Boil noodles until al dente (or preferred done-ness), according to package instructions.
- Brown ground beef with the minced onion, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until the beef is done (seasoning amounts are approximate, I tend to just sprinkle the spices over the top of the meat until lightly covered its just how I roll).
- While meat is cooking and noodles are boiling, slice (or shred, your preference) mozzarella cheese into semi-consistent size and thickness, no more than 1/8 inch thick.
- In a 9x13 baking dish or pan, combine noodles, cooked meat and the sauce stir until combined.
- Top with cheese (I lay the slices side by side to cover the whole thing), and bake about 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve with bread and salad and watch it get devoured!

- **Substitution: If you cant find a block of mozzarella, you can use 2 bags of the 2 cup/8-ounce shredded kind).
- (This dish is consistently requested by my entire family any time we have a get together and it never fails to please.
- If you have any leftovers, they taste even more delicious the next day!)
