Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion

  • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Everyone in my family really liked this. My husband wa skeptical when he came home and smelled it, but he admitted it really came together and made a tasty dish.

I used ground turkey instead of ground beef and added basil as well for seasoning.

Thought it would be hard to cut pieces but it wasnt-very good but very hard to say no to anything but 1 piece!

I wasn't too crazy about the flavor of this recipe, but it was easy to make and made a ton. I might actually try this again with store bought sauce---GASP!

This pie is delicious and 1/6 in only 348 calories and is very filling. I am making it for our next potluck in my diet class. I have an electric oven and probably cooked it longer than the time suggested, maybe 30 minutes and then 10 more with the cheese on top.

I liked this recipe - I particularly like the fact that the spaghetti is a bit creamy. I did have to use a 2-quart casserole dish, because this was too much for a pie dish. Delicious nonetheless!

I make this recipe often and really enjoy it! It also freezes well - let it cool after assembling and then put it in the freezer. When ready to eat, thaw the pie and then bake as normal.

Absolutely delicious. Well seasoned and creamy. It was very quick to put together.
