Baked Ziti

I found this recipe on real mom kitchen, but she found it on another kitchen site called blog chef. It turned out pretty good. I added more oregano than they did, and a bit of thyme as well.
Ingredients
  • 1lb ground beef
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 (32 ounce) jar meatless spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 Tablespoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 (16 oz) package ziti pasta (cooked and drained)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet add ground beef, onions and garlic. (I used my precooked ground beef, so I sauteed the garlic and onions then added the cooked beef.) Cook over medium high heat stirring frequently until the beef is browned. Stir in spaghetti sauce, chicken broth and oregano. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

2. Stir in 1 cup of sauce into the cooked ziti noodles. Spoon ½ of the ziti mixture into a 13×9” baking dish. Sprinkle 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese and ½ cup parmesan cheese over the top of the ziti mixture. Top with 2 cups of the sauce, then add remaining ziti mixture and top that with the remaining sauce.

3. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes remove from oven, uncover and sprinkle the top with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Return to over and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
(Makes 6 Servings)
