Easy Baked Spaghetti Pie
Description
Easy Baked Spaghetti Pie starts by cooking spaghetti, then mixing it with beaten eggs and Parmesan cheese to form a crust pressed into a pie pan. Sautéed onions cooked with butter are layered over the crust, then topped with sour cream. Separately, ground beef (or a beef and Italian sausage mix) is browned with Italian seasonings and garlic powder, then simmered briefly with tomato sauce before layering over the sour cream and onions. The pie is finished with shredded mozzarella and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan on top, then baked until the cheese melts and browns slightly.
The dish showcases a firm but tender crust formed by noodles and eggs, with creamy sour cream and savory meat sauce nestled beneath cheese that forms a melty topping. It combines comfort elements of pasta, cheese, and hearty meat sauce in a convenient pie form.
This pie is allowed to rest before slicing to ensure it holds together. It can be a filling centerpiece for a casual meal, containing distinct texture contrasts from the crust to the moist meat sauce beneath.
