Spaghetti Pie

IMG_8742
I have been eating this meal since I was just a toddler.  My grandma originally introduced us to this recipe and my mom often made it at home as well.  I like to make this recipe “family size” by doubling it and making it in a 9X13 baking dish.  But you can also use 2 pie plates if you like the actual pie shape the best. 
This is the recipe for one pie

2 eggs, beaten
1 lb ground beef

1 cup mozzarella cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a pie plate
2. Cook spaghetti according to package and drain.  Mix with butter, eggs and parmesan cheese
3. Brown hamburger and onion.  Drain.  Stir in un-drained tomatoes, paste, oregano and garlic salt.  Heat through.
4. Form spaghetti into a buttered pie plate to make crust.  Spread cottage cheese over crust and fill with tomato mixture.
5. Bake for 20 minutes.  Top with mozzarella cheese and bake 8 more minutes.
Let set 10 minutes before serving.  Enjoy!
