Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 cup canned diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) fat-free cottage cheese

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the spaghetti, butter, egg whites and Parmesan cheese. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate coated with cooking spray. Top with cottage cheese and beef mixture.

I'm not sure but I think I might be related to the person that submitted this recipe. I'm a Wells's. We live in middletown Ohio and this pie was one of the family favorites made by Juanita w.rest her sole. I would recommend highly. Only thing missing is her fudge. :-)

Mmm, tasty! I didn't have enough cottage cheese, so I used a combination of cottage cheese, cream cheese and sour cream. Very yummy!

This recipe is delicious. I always make two at a time... one to eat now and one to freeze!

Even the two year old ate it. It was faster than lasagna. Generous serving size - we cut it into 8 slices instead of 6 and it was still enough for us to be satisfied. Put this recipe in my recipe box to make again. I'm planning on sharing this with the ladies at work.
