Family Spaghetti Pie

Family Spaghetti Pie
1 lb ground beef (I used sausage instead)
1 cup Pace Picante Sauce
1 cup spaghetti sauce (I used an entire bottle)
1/2 of a 16 oz pkg of spaghetti cooked and drained (about 3 cups, I ended up using more)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (the sprinkle kind)
1 egg, beaten
1 Tbsp. butter, melted
10 oz ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded moz. cheese

Brown hamburger, drain grease. Add spaghetti sauce and pace picante sauce, cook until hot and bubbling.
In separate bowl mix spaghetti, egg, parmesan cheese and butter. Layer spaghetti in bottom of 10-in pie plate (I used a casserole dish instead). Spread Ricotta cheese on top of spaghetti mixture, Cover with Sauce mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Sprinkle moz cheese on top and let stand for 5 minutes... ENJOY!!!

This actually worked better in a casserole dish because of how it is layered so it doesn't boil over in the oven.

Melt butter in a separate pan and cook chicken until brown and tender. Add soup, milk, parmesan cheese and spaghetti. Cook until bubbly. Enjoy!
We like ours a little more saucy so we doubled the sauce part of the recipe.
