Baked Ziti {Freezer Meal}

May 7, 2012 by Kristin Leave a Comment

I made this for dinner tonight. I loved it! My husband and son are not big of pasta but thought it was yummy!
 It was super cheesy so if you don’t like cheese that much I would cut back on it. It also makes two meals so I’m freezing the other one for next week!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound dry ziti pasta (or really any kind of pasta would work- I actually used Penne pasta)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (season with pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and minced garlic)
  • 2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce (I added a zucchini to my sauce just for more veggies!)
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta, and cook until al dente, about 7-8 minutes; drain.
  2. In a large skillet, brown onion and ground beef over medium heat. Add spaghetti sauce, and simmer 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 2 8×8 inch pans with non-stick cooking spray. Layer as follows in each pan: 1/4 of the ziti, 1/4 of the sauce, 4 slices of Provolone cheese, 1/2 of sour cream, 1/4 of ziti, 1/4 mozzarella cheese and 1/4 of sauce mixture. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and remaining mozzarella cheese.
  4. Bake covered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheeses are melted.
