Johnny Marzetti
I have seen many casseroles called "Johnny Marzetti". Some have been made with Macaroni Noodles, some with Ziti, Some with Rotini, but when I grew up the REAL Johnny Marzetti was made with Egg Noodles as this recipe is and Delicious too, using our very own Spaghetti Seasoning Blend of Spices.
Ingredients
- 1 12 oz. Bag of Medium Egg Noodles Cook as directed on package. Drain Well.
Sauce
- 1 lb. Ground Beef Cooked
- 1 Can 28 oz. Tomato Sauce ( or combination of (2-15 oz. Cans of Sauce, Puree, Crushed, or Petite Diced Tomatoes)

- 1 Pkg. Spaghetti Seasoning Blend (or 2 1/2 TBS.)
Topping
- 6 Slices American Cheese (optional Sprinkle with additional shredded cheese of your choice.)
Instructions
- Cook Sauce first by Browning Ground Beef. Drain off excess Grease. Add Tomato Sauce, Sugar, and Spaghetti Seasoning and simmer over Medium Low Heat until Hot. (The longer this is cooked the better it will taste!) I simmer for an hour.1 Pkg. Spaghetti Seasoning Blend
- Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
- Boil Medium Egg Noodles according to package directions, drain, then pour into 9×13 pan.
- Pour prepared Sauce over noodles, stir in.
- Add American Cheese Slices on top.
