Quick and Easy Baked Ziti

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375F.

2. 2

   Boil noodles until al dente (or preferred done-ness), according to package instructions.

3. 3

   Brown ground beef with the minced onion, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until the beef is done (seasoning amounts are approximate, I tend to just sprinkle the spices over the top of the meat until lightly covered its just how I roll).

4. 4

   While meat is cooking and noodles are boiling, slice (or shred, your preference) mozzarella cheese into semi-consistent size and thickness, no more than 1/8 inch thick.

5. 5

   In a 9x13 baking dish or pan, combine noodles, cooked meat and the sauce stir until combined.

6. 6

   Top with cheese (I lay the slices side by side to cover the whole thing), and bake about 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. 7

   Serve with bread and salad and watch it get devoured!
