Spaghetti Pie (TNT)

Hi
This is one of my old standby recipes! It is one of my hubby's favorites, so every once in a while I bring out an oldie recipe!! It is so good. I use hot bulk sausage instead of ground beef...just to spice it up a little!
Enjoy!

Spaghetti Pie
Ingredients


2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 well-beaten eggs
1 pound lean ground beef or bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green sweet pepper
1 7-1/2-ounce can (1 cup) tomatoes, cut up
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup cream-style cottage cheese
6 ounces packaged dried spaghetti
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (2 ounces)
Directions
Cook the spaghetti according to package directions; drain (should have about 3-1/4 cups cooked spaghetti). Stir margarine or butter into hot spaghetti. Stir in Parmesan cheese and eggs. Form spaghetti mixture into a "crust" in a buttered 10-inch pie plate.
In a large skillet cook the ground beef or pork sausage, onion, and sweet pepper until meat is brown and vegetables are tender. Drain well. Stir in the undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, and garlic salt. Heat through.
Spread cottage cheese over spaghetti mixture in pie plate. Top with the meat mixture. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F. oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake about 5 minutes more or until mozzarella cheese melts. Makes 6 servings.
