Baked Spaghetti!

So, I had off work today to pick up my mom at the hospital for a surgery she had done (and she's doing great!) My grandparents are here too! Nanny & Pappy came down to help her out and take care of her in her recovery, though it's probably more to keep her company :) And today is Pappy's 70th birthday - lots to celebrate. I made dinner for everyone and it was a big hit (or they were all faking it and were very convincing...) I even substituted whole wheat pasta and turkey burger and I didn't tell anyone. Seeeee, told you they were yummy!! ;)

Beth Anne's Baked Spaghetti
Lifted from Domestic Diva Blog
Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey (or beef)
16 oz spaghetti noodles
1 lb, 10 oz spaghetti sauce
cheese (I used cheddar and mozzarella)
1/4 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced

Directions
1. Spray the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with Pam & preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Brown the turkey/beef in a pan. Drain any fat. Stir in chopped garlic & onion. Stir in half of spaghetti sauce. Turn to low & simmer.
3. While the turkey simmers, boil the noodles al dente for about 10 minutes. You don't want to have them thoroughly cooked, as you will also be baking them.
4. Spread half the noodles on the bottom of the pan. Top with half the turkey mixture and 1/2 the remaining spaghetti sauce. Spread cheese on top.
5. Spread the remaining half noodles on top of this. Top with the remaining turkey mixture, spaghetti sauce, and top again with cheeses.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until hot & bubbly.
