Ingredients
8 oz spaghetti pasta
1 lb lean ground beef, 7% fat
1 cup frozen diced onions
1/4 cup frozen diced bell peppers
3 large eggs (or 3/4 cup egg substitute, divided)
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups shredded Italian-blend cheese, divided
1 jar tomato basil pasta sauce (24-26 oz)

Bring water to boil for pasta. Preheat oven to 400°F.


Steps

1. Cook pasta following package instructions.
2. Combine in large bowl: beef, onions, peppers, 1 egg, oregano, seasoned salt, and garlic powder until blended. Spread mixture evenly in 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Wash hands.
3. Drain pasta thoroughly (do not rinse). Whisk in medium bowl: remaining 2 eggs until blended; stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Add pasta; toss to coat. Spread pasta evenly over meat.
