Ingredients:

Easy Three Cheese Baked Ziti recipe picture 11 pound (or box) of dry ziti pasta
1 onion, chopped
1 pound of ground beef
2 (26 ounce) jars of spaghetti sauce
1/4 lb of sliced provologne cheese
8 oz of sour cream
Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Optional: Sugar

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

Step 4:

Step 5:

Step 6:

Toss in the sauce, pepper, oregano, basil, and sugar. I used regular Ragu sauce with nothing in it. I don't like the special Ragu sauces with added ingredients. I like to put sugar in because in my opinion, most sauces you get out of a can or jar are too salty for my taste, and this evens it out a little.

Step 7:

Step 8:

I used an aluminum pan here because the largest dish I have won't hold all of the stuff we're about to throw in. It makes clean up easier, too, since you can just toss it when you've eaten it all. Start off by putting only half the ziti in the pan.

Step 9:

Step 12:

Step 13:
