Spaghetti Pie
Yes, it is seriously just as good as it looks! Ground beef, tomatoes, noodle and cheese – what’s not to like?
- Tank (5) didn’t like the “white ball things” – aka. Cottage Cheese. But, I was able to pull out the most obvious ones and he ate it right up.
- Zack (9) wanted to know what I did differently to the meat. When I asked “why” he said “because I want you to do it like this all the time!” Ha ha! Guess he did’t mind the “white ball things!”
- Tripp (12) had no opinion. He pretty much likes all food.
- Ricky (36) thought it was “really good!” and wanted to know what we were trying new tomorrow.
They are so funny! Take spaghetti, put it in pie form, and add a few cheeses and they think you have invented the best thing in the world. LOL!
- This was made using 2 frozen seasoning blend muffins from my freezer.

Nice twist on a regular classic!
Ingredients
- 1 small package (mine was 7 ounces) of spaghetti noodles cooked in salty water, then drained.
- 1 pound of ground hamburger meat
- 2 Frozen seasoning blend muffins
- 1 can diced tomatoes, undrained (14.5 ounces)
- 1 Small can of tomato paste (6 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Italian Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
- ¼ teaspoon of white granulated sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Tablespoon of butter or margarine, melted
- 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 cup (8 ounces) Cottage Cheese
- ½ Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Instructions
- Brown and drain the hamburger meat, then add back into your pot. I rinse my pot, but don’t clean it. That leaves a bit of grease in it to keep things from sticking.
- To the meat add: seasoning blend muffins, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, italian seasoning, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper.
- Allow to simmer while completing the next step.
- In a large bowl, combine the spaghetti, butter, egg whites and Parmesan cheese. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate coated with cooking spray. Top with cottage cheese and beef mixture.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and filling is heated through. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
