     Title: Tax Day Casserole
Categories: Pasta, Sauces, Cheese
     Yield: 8 servings

    48 oz Prego Chunky Garden Spaghetti
          - Sauce
     2 lb Ground meat; beef, pork, or
          - turkey/chicken
     1 ts Salt & black pepper
     2 ts Mrs Dash seasoning salt
     2 ts Garlic powder
     1 tb Sugar
   1/2 c  Water
     1 ln Penne pasta: cooked al dente
     1 c  Cheese; shredded, divided

 Grease a large casserole dish with butter, set aside.

 Pour spaghetti sauce into large saucepan or pot; simmer
 on medium low heat, keep stirred.

 Brown ground meat and drain. Add cooked meat to the
 spaghetti sauce and mix in all the seasonings.

 Pour the water into the spaghetti sauce jar, shake it
 up, and add it to the meat sauce. Add more or less water
 as needed

 Continue to simmer the meat sauce for one hour.
 Simmering the sauce will increase the flavor of the
 sauce and break down the structure of the meat into a
 better consistency. Remember to stir the sauce while
 it's simmering.

 Turn off sauce after one hour. At this point you  heat
 your oven to 350 F/175 C.

 Add pasta to meat sauce, mix well.

 Spoon half the mixture into a 9x13" casserole dish.
 Sprinkle on half the shredded cheese. Spoon remaining
 mixture and top with remaining cheese.

 Bake covered for 35 to 40 minutes.

 NOTE: spray foil with nonstick spray if using it to
 cover casserole. Enjoy?
