      Title: Tax Day Casserole
 Categories: Pasta, Sauces, Cheese
      Yield: 8 servings

     48 oz Prego Chunky Garden Spaghetti
           - Sauce
      2 lb Ground meat; beef, pork, or
           - turkey/chicken
      1 ts Salt & black pepper
      2 ts Mrs Dash seasoning salt
      2 ts Garlic powder
      1 tb Sugar
    1/2 c  Water
      1 ln Penne pasta: cooked al dente
      1 c  Cheese; shredded, divided

  Grease a large casserole dish with butter, set aside.

  Pour spaghetti sauce into large saucepan or pot; simmer
  on medium low heat, keep stirred.

  Brown ground meat and drain. Add cooked meat to the
  spaghetti sauce and mix in all the seasonings.

  Pour the water into the spaghetti sauce jar, shake it
  up, and add it to the meat sauce. Add more or less water
  as needed

  Continue to simmer the meat sauce for one hour.
  Simmering the sauce will increase the flavor of the
  sauce and break down the structure of the meat into a
  better consistency. Remember to stir the sauce while
  it's simmering.

  Turn off sauce after one hour. At this point you  heat
  your oven to 350°F/175°C.

  Add pasta to meat sauce, mix well.

  Spoon half the mixture into a 9x13" casserole dish.
  Sprinkle on half the shredded cheese. Spoon remaining
  mixture and top with remaining cheese.

  Bake covered for 35 to 40 minutes. 

  NOTE: spray foil with nonstick spray if using it to
  cover casserole. Enjoy?
