Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 onion (diced)
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic 
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 28 ounce jar marinara sauce
Alfredo Sauce:
  • 8 Tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups Parmesan Cheese (grated)
  • 1 lb spaghetti noodles
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese (grated)
  • diced parsley (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and onions and saute for 5 minutes. Add ground beef and increase heat to medium-high and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute longer.
  2. Drain any excess grease or blot with a paper towel before adding the marinara sauce. Add marinara sauce.
  3. Heat a large pot of water over high heat until boiling. Generously salt the water. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions. Drain.
  4. Make the homemade alfredo sauce by melting the butter in a pot, add the heavy cream and seasonings and 2 cups of parmesan cheese, only 1/2 cup at a time. Cook until it starts to thicken and bubble, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. In a 9 x 13 baking dish, toss the cooked spaghetti noodles with the alfredo sauce, then layer on the meat sauce, and then top with freshly grated mozzarella cheese. Bake until bubbly, about 18-20 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley, if so desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • What type of ground beef should I use?
  • I suggest using lean ground beef, which is 80-85% lean. If there is any grease, drain it or soak it up with a paper towel before adding the marinara sauce.
  • What jarred marinara sauce should I use?
  • The most popular marinara sauce on the market is Rao's marinara sauce. You can find it for much cheaper in a 2-pack at Costco. It is the best tasting marinara sauce available at the grocery store. I also suggest Carbone's marinara sauce. 
  • I haven't been able to find the original source for this recipe on TikTok since so many users have posted about it. If you know the original creator, please message me so I can give credit to this recipe. Thank you!
