This recipe is a slight modification of one that my mother-in-law makes. The first time she made it for me was just after I had my son and was completely incapacitated from the surgery. My wonderful mother-in-law came to stay with us for a week and took great care to love and feed us while she was there. This recipe will always remind me of her kindness.
Aside from it's wonderful memories, it's tasty too.
Spaghetti Bake
16 oz package spaghetti
1 pound hamburger
1 green pepper
1 medium onion
1 package pepperoni, chopped into small pieces
1 tablespoon butter
1 jar spaghetti sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese
Boil noodles, but drain them about two minutes before you would normally remove them. They will continue cooking in the oven.
In a fairly large pan, brown and drain the hamburger.
In the same pan that you cooked the hamburger, saute pepper and onion in butter until tender. Add the chopped pepperoni. Saute for two minute more.
Add the hamburger back to the vegetables and pepperoni. Add the spaghetti sauce and heat until warm.
Place the cooked noodles and the vegetable/sauce combination into a 9x13 baking dish. Mix thoroughly.
Top with cheese and cover with aluminum foil.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is brown.

Hi Darcy, I just passed your blog on to some friends in England in case you get some comments with British accents.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe that you posted reminds me of one that my mom made when I (or anyone had a baby) and I loved it.. perhaps more from the memory than from the actual content, but I could never get her to write it down for me, so this is lovely.
