Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onion together until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off the fat. Add the spaghetti sauce and stir to mix. 2 pounds ground beef round, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 48 ounces spaghetti sauce
While the meat is cooking, boil ziti according to package directions in another pot. 16 ounces ziti noodles
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Spread half the noodles in the bottom of the dish. Layer the provolone cheese, sour cream and then half the sauce on top. Add the rest of the ziti. Sprinkle 6 ounces of shredded mozzarella over top the ziti. 12 slices provolone cheese, 2 cups sour cream, 8 ounces mozzarella cheese
Top with the remaining sauce, parmesan cheese and the remaining mozzarella. 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
Bake for 35 minutes. If you'd like the top to get a touch of brown, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes on high. Watch carefully!
