Easy Baked Ziti Recipe: A Family Favorite

Ingredients

• 1 pound dry ziti pasta
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
• 6 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
• 1.5 cups sour cream
• 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Gather all of your ingredients to get started.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the ziti pasta and cook until al dente, approximately 8 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
3. While the pasta is cooking, brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
4. Spread half of the cooked ziti evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
5. Layer the Provolone cheese slices on top of the ziti.
6. Dollop the sour cream evenly over the Provolone cheese.
7. Add half of the meat sauce, then the remaining ziti, mozzarella cheese, and the remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven until the dish is heated through and the cheeses are melted and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let it cool slightly before serving.
