HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIAS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Heat oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion and bell pepper in the hot oil until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Mix Italian dressing mix into ground beef and add to the hot pan; saute until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and add beef mixture; mix well. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish and top with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is browned, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef. Drain fat; add onions, spaghetti sauce mix, pepper, oregano and garlic. Stir in tomato sauce, chicken base, Worcestershire, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 45 minutes. If sauce needs thickening, dissolve a little cornstarch in hot water and add to sauce.
• Meanwhile cook spaghetti. Drain, but do not rinse. Stir cheese into sauce to melt, then stir in spaghetti. Transfer pasta and sauce to a baking pan and cover with foil. Place in a 225 degree oven for 1 hour.
