When i started stealing mom's recipes and posting them on this blog, my wife quickly hid any of her "special" recipes, knowing i would get to her soon after i was finished with mom. Well, it took me a month, but i finally found where my wife hid her recipe for her famous "Spaghetti Pie".
She hid it in the one place she didn't think i would ever look, the laundry room under the ironing board. Little does she know, i use that ironing board to fillet my catfish on, when she is not home.
Anyway, she never reads any of my stuff anymore, so i'm sure she will never notice this post. This recipe is in the top five on my "favorite food" list. Oh, and if you should happen to read this, thank you dear, for providing the recipe.
Christine's Spaghetti Pie from Mary Metzger
16oz spaghetti
1 stick oleo
3 beaten eggs
1 cup grated parmasan cheese
16oz small curd cottage cheese
2 pounds ground beef
1 pound pork
3/4cup chopped onion
1 large jar spaghetti sauce
1 1/2cups mushrooms
2 cups shredded mozzerella cheese
1 tsp oregeno
Cook spaghetti and drain. Stir in oleo, then beaten eggs and parmasan cheese. Form spaghetti into a crust in a greased 9x13 glass pan. My wife uses three glass pie pans. Spread cottage cheese evenly over spaghetti crust. Cook ground beef, pork, mushrooms and onions until meat is brown. Christine chops down the meat constantly while she cooks it, turning it into very small, almost crunchy pieces. Drain any excess grease, stir in sauce and heat until steaming. put mixture on top of cottage cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Add cheese and bake until cheese is golden brown.
