Do the chopping and cook the beef and pasta in advance. That way the kids can take over the kitchen, making this recipe for Spaghetti & Beef Pie themselves by simply assembling and heating in the microwave. This recipe’s a handy way to use up any leftover spaghetti.

Ingredients

10 oz (300 g) spaghetti, cooked


1 tsp (5 mL) dried basil or thyme


1 lb (500 g) Lean Ground Beef Sirloin, Round or Chuck*, cooked (see Cooked Ground Beef as follows)


½ tsp (2 mL) garlic powder


1 tsp (5 mL) dried oregano or Italian seasoning


1 small onion, chopped


Pepper


14 oz (398 mL) spaghetti sauce


¼ cup (50 mL) chopped sweet green pepper


⅓ cup (75 mL) pepperoni pieces (optional)


1 cup (250 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Toss 4 cups (1 L) cooked spaghetti with basil and arrange over bottom and up side of 10 inch (25 cm) glass pie plate.

Meanwhile, combine cooked ground beef, garlic powder, oregano, onion, and pepper to taste in 8 cup (2 L) microwaveable casserole dish. Add spaghetti sauce, green pepper and pepperoni. Cover with waxed paper and microwave on High for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour over spaghetti. Garnish with additional pepperoni, if desired.
