Baked Ziti (Freezer Meal)

Six Sister's crowd favorite! Love this one to take to someone else or to make for yourself for a freezer meal. Thanks Anj, for sending this to me!

1 lb ziti noodles (or similar shaped pasta)

1 onion, diced

1 lb ground beef

Salt

Pepper

1/4 tsp garlic powder or minced garlic

2 26oz jars Spaghetti Sauce

8 slices provolone cheese

1 1/2 cups sour cream

6 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

2 TBS grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 2 9x9 inch square pans with nonstick cooking spray.

Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain.

In a large skillet brown onions and ground beef over medium heat. Season with salt, pepper and garlic. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer for 15 minutes. 

Layer as follows in each prepared pan; 1/4 of the cooked noodles, about 1 1/2 cups sauce, 4 slices of provolone, 3/4 cup sour cream, 1/4 cooked noodles, 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese, and another 1 1/2 cups of sauce. Top with grated parmesan and remaining mozzarella cheese. 

Bake, covered for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted. Ingredients fill the pans to the very top so they recommend to put a cooking sheet under them in case it bubbles over (I've never had that happen)

*I was telling Kelsey, you could easily make this vegetarian if you need to! I would saute some veggies like zucchini and carrots and maybe some red or orange peppers in place of the meat. I would be really good!
