Cheesy Penne Pasta Meatball Bake

This recipe was another one that was found in one of the groups I'm in on Facebook. Credit goes to Ronni F. His recipe calls for frozen meatballs but we made ours by hand and added seasonings to ours. Besides that, this recipe is only 4 ingredients - meatballs, penne pasta, spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients:
-Ground beef to form the meatballs
-We did not measure but here are the seasonings we used - breadcrumbs, salt, basil leaves, pepper, italian seasoning, seasoned salt, onion powder and garlic powder
-3/4 of a box of penne pasta
-1 1/2 cans of spaghetti sauce
-Half a bag of mozzarella cheese (you can do as much as you would like)


Directions:
Take the ground beef and form into balls as big or small as you would like. In a bowl, combine the seasonings together to your liking and then roll the meatball into the seasonings. Spray a pan and turn stove on to medium heat. Let the meatballs cook until they are done all the way (I know the photo doesn't show them cooked all the way but it's the only photo I took so just make sure they are all the way done.)


Add spaghetti sauce to the pan and let cook for a few minutes.


Boil the pasta using the directions on the box and drain. Add the pasta to the pan with the meatballs and spaghetti sauce and stir to combine. Add shredded mozzarella cheese to the pan and pour into a sprayed pan.



Bake on 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with garlic bread.
