Description
A unique and delicious Spaghetti Crust Pie that combines the flavors of spaghetti and pizza in a fun and creative way.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups water
- 6 ounces spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Shortening
- ½ pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion
- 1 8-ounce can pizza sauce
- 1 1½-ounce slice mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Measure water and put it into a 3-quart saucepan. Turn burner to high heat. When water starts to boil, add spaghetti gradually. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes until tender.
- Drain the spaghetti using a colander in the sink.
- Let spaghetti stand for a few minutes to drain well. Stir in butter or margarine until melted.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl and mix in Parmesan cheese. Pour over spaghetti and mix well.
- Grease a 9-inch pie plate with shortening. Press the spaghetti mixture into the plate to form a crust.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cook ground beef and chopped onion in the same pan until no pink remains.
- Drain excess grease from the beef mixture.
- Add pizza sauce to the beef mixture and stir. Spoon into the spaghetti crust.
- Bake the pie for 20 minutes. Cut cheese into triangles.
- Remove pie from oven, arrange cheese on top, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until melted. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Be careful when draining spaghetti as steam can be very hot.
- Ensure the ground beef is fully cooked before adding the pizza sauce.
- Let the pie cool slightly before serving to allow the cheese to set.
