Baked Ziti

I'll be making this for DH to take to the firestation this weekend (I'll probably double it) - yummy!

BAKED ZITI

1 lb Lean Ground Beef (I like to use ground spicy Italian Sausage)

1 Cup Onion, chopped

2 Cloves Garlic, minced

1 (32 oz) Jar Meatless Sauce (I use homemade if I have some)

1 Cup Chicken Broth

1 tsp Dried Oregano Leaves

1 (16 oz) Package Ziti Pasta, cooked and drained

2 (8 oz) Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

1 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large skillet, cook the ground meat, onions, and garlic over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until meat is browned; stirring frequently.  Stir in spaghetti sauce, chicken broth, and oregano.  Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.  Stir 1 cup of the sauce into the cooked ziti noodles.  Spoon 1/2 of the ziti mixture into a 13x9x2" baking dish.  Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.  Top with 2 cups sauce, then the remaining ziti mixture and remaining sauce.  Cover and bake 20 minutes.  Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.  Return to oven and bake uncovered for 10 minutes or until heated through.
