## How to Make Spaghetti Pie
1. **Preheat and prepare:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a pie dish or a round baking pan.
2. **Cook the meat:** Brown the ground beef or sausage with onions and garlic until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
3. **Mix the pasta:** In a large bowl, combine cooked spaghetti with beaten eggs, half of the cheese, cooked meat, tomato sauce, and seasoning. The eggs act as a binder, holding everything together.
4. **Assemble the pie:** Pour the mixture into your prepared dish, pressing down gently. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
5. **Bake:** Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly and the pie is set.
6. **Cool and serve:** Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with a side salad or garlic bread for a full meal.
## Tips for a Perfect Spaghetti Pie
* Use slightly undercooked spaghetti so it doesn’t get mushy during baking.
* Don’t skip the eggs—they’re key for structure.
* Add veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra nutrition.
* Leftover spaghetti pie tastes great the next day and reheats well.
