Lily's Cheezy Bake

1 lb lean ground sirloin (you could also use ground turkey)
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 box of pasta (rotini or shells)
Salt & pepper to taste

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Brown meat in a large skillet.  Cook pasta according to directions on the box leaving slightly al dente.  Drain any fat off of the ground sirloin and put in a 9 x 13 baking dish.  Drain pasta and put in dish.  Add the spaghetti sauce, 1 cup of the grated mozzarella, and salt & pepper, mix together.  Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until cheese is melted and golden. 

This is my daughter's favorite meal, hence the name of the dish.  I usually serve this with an Italian salad and french bread.  This is also a good recipe to prepare ahead of time and then bake when you have a night that is busy but you still want to serve a nice meal. Enjoy!
