How to Make Baked Spaghetti By Paula Deen

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large stockpot, combine: 28 oz can crushed tomatoes, 15 oz can tomato sauce, 2 cups water, 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tbsp House Seasoning (recipe below), 1 tbsp sugar, and 2 bay leaves.
3. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
4. While sauce simmers, brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through and no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
5. Add cooked ground beef to the simmering sauce. Simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
6. Cook 1 lb angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain well.
7. In a 13x9x2 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom.
8. Layer half of the pasta over the sauce, followed by half of 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese and half of 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
9. Repeat layers: sauce, pasta, remaining Jack cheese, remaining mozzarella cheese.
10. Top with remaining sauce.
11. Bake for 30 minutes.
12. Sprinkle remaining cheese (about 1/2 cup of either cheese or a mix) over the top.
13. Bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
14. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
