- I am sharing a recipe, y'all, that was one
0:06
of the favorite of all of our guests at "The Lady and Sons".
0:12
It's when we had the buffet.
0:13
So you never knew what we were going to have on the buffet
0:17
but baked spaghetti was one of everybody's favorites.
0:21
So I'm doing a really dumbed down, easy recipe
0:24
because I tell you what, I know when school starts,
0:28
you got football practice, you got baseball practice
0:31
you got judo, you got dance, and you got cheerleading camp.
0:35
I know y'all feel like you're a taxi cab
0:38
but you still wanna feed your family
0:42
Reasonably, right, so y'all will love this easy,
0:47
easy, easy spaghetti casserole.
0:51
So I've got my ground beef.
0:53
Now you can put any kind meat you want in here.
0:56
You could do ground chicken, ground turkey,
0:59
ground Italian sausage.
1:02
But I'm just using plain hamburger meat
1:05
because it's very possible
1:09
that a child will be eating this before the day's over.
1:14
So I'm just gonna brown that off,
1:18
and I'm not even going to the trouble of making a marinara.
1:27
This jarred marinara is so very good.
1:34
And I tell you what, I can't hardly tell the difference
1:38
between my homemade and this.
1:42
I usually have to kick up
1:44
the Italian herbs a little bit in it.
1:46
But basically that's all.
1:49
So we just going to ground this off.
1:55
So I wanna come on over here.
1:56
We already have our spaghetti.
1:59
Cooked off and at the restaurant,
2:03
I used to do this in layers,
2:06
so you get a layer of this, a layer of that
2:09
and then a layer of this, and then the final cheese topping.
2:12
But this is just for a quick family meal.
2:19
In fact, you can make these, stick them in the refrigerator
2:23
and when you need it, pull it out and bake it off.
2:28
And if you really wanna make it easy,
2:31
make this in a dish that'll fit in your air fryer,
2:35
you'll have an even quicker meal.
2:39
And the thing about this dish,
2:41
if you've got finicky children,
2:45
most children love, love, love spaghetti,
2:48
spaghetti and meatballs, or just plaino spaghetti.
2:51
I'm gonna let this simmer
2:54
I didn't even drain that meat, y'all,
2:57
because there was not much fat left in it at all.
3:09
So I thought, that's enough to just flavor it.
3:14
So I'm gonna put some seasoning in it,
3:20
because one thing about it,
3:23
they don't get these dishes very salty.
3:28
So you'll wanna kick it up a little bit
3:32
with a little salt and a little pepper.
3:39
All right, now I'm gonna toss 3/4 of a pound
3:44
of spaghetti noodles in the sauce.
3:48
Now, at the restaurant, I didn't do this.
3:52
I actually just layered it.
3:54
But this may be easier for you.
4:03
To make sure all the noodles are coated with the sauce.
4:08
And you can make this as meaty or as less meaty
4:12
if you would rather have it that way.
4:15
In fact, you could almost turn this
4:16
into a layered eggplant, what do they call that dish?
4:26
Eggplant Parmesan, yes, I have made that before.
4:31
I didn't formulate it, but it was just out of this world.
4:36
I wish I'd kind of written things down,
4:38
but I'm not real good about that.
4:41
All right, so in we go, yeah, this is gonna work
4:49
out good 'cause it's gonna be nice and thick
4:58
I think I'm gonna give one more wash to this.
5:10
This is a great fall dish too y'all.
5:13
So I've got that pretty well divided.
5:17
And now I'm gonna come in here with the mozzarella cheese.
5:25
Oh, and when you cut into that,
5:29
that's gonna have that wonderful stringy cheese all in it.
5:34
Okay, see, it's gonna fill this dish up and I love that.
6:06
Excuse my bottom but I gotta do it this way now.
6:19
Yeah, this is perfect.
6:21
Perfect, perfect, perfect.
6:25
Now we just gonna put this in the oven and bake it off.
6:33
And I think check the fridge Therese
6:37
and see if we have some Parmesan cheese,
6:41
because I'm gonna wait till the last two or three minutes
6:49
before I put that mozzarella on top.
6:52
'cause I don't want it getting brown and hard.
6:56
So just to make sure.
7:04
I'm just gonna spread a little of this Parmesan
7:06
on top and then we'll come back with the mozzarella.
7:13
Alright y'all, this is nice and hot.
7:17
Now I'm just going to top it
7:19
with the rest of the mozzarella.
7:21
Perfect, we don't want it brown, we just want it melted.
7:27
Today's videos have been all about quick,
7:34
Y'all don't notice that I changed shirts?
7:37
That's because the spaghetti sauce won.
7:42
So I had to go take it off so I could start soaking those.
7:45
I want you to taste this.
7:47
This is, boy Heidi, this brings back good memories
7:51
of when I was in that restaurant every day
7:54
and just meeting people from whole over the world.
7:59
And I loved having that contact.
8:03
And you remember us serving spaghetti casserole,
8:05
Michael, how much people loved it.
8:15
It's so delicious y'all.
8:19
Hard to believe it's like a 10 minute meal.
8:23
Truly, putting it together is about 10 minutes
8:26
and then baking at 15 or 20.
8:33
I would like to share my with you.
8:37
- [Speaker] Lemme finish my dessert.
8:44
- I hate you took all those good looking pants.
8:48
- Well, I have been one of things day.
8:56
- Yeah, it it right up to the top because when she said
8:59
leave your pants right here, I said, oh no.
9:05
I don't have no replacement pants except my underwear.
9:08
- Well, it's amazing what you keep in that truck.
9:13
You got a whole nother wardrobe.
9:19
I just clean it out with all the clothes.
9:21
So I said, oh my God,
9:23
I don't think I have any clothes.
9:24
So I found new rain pants.
9:29
I hope we got a picture of it for a rainy day
9:33
so I can sit down and look at it and laugh again.
9:36
- Be perfect for a rainy day.
9:38
- Oh, so you coming back?
9:43
Mr. Gru with Captain.
9:45
- Coming back for what?
9:48
- To your house, to the kitchen.
9:53
You always say after I fix your meal and you eat it.
9:56
Okay, that was delicious.
9:59
- Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
10:01
- You did, how did you forget?
10:03
I'm glad you liked it, Michael.
10:05
I think it's just wonderful
10:07
and the children will have a fit over it.
10:10
