For a richer flavor, try using a combination of Italian sausage and ground beef. Experiment with different cheeses such as mozzarella, provolone, or Parmesan. Add vegetables like diced onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the meat sauce for added nutrition and flavor. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or oregano after baking adds a fresh, aromatic touch.

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbly, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the spaghetti sauce, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
03 Step
Recipe View While the meat sauce simmers, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Drain well.

05 Step
Recipe View Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese (or your cheese blend of choice) generously over the top of the spaghetti. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
06 Step
Recipe View Let the baked spaghetti rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to settle and the dish to cool slightly.
