Baked Ziti

Makes either a very full 9 x 13" pan or 2 8 x 8" pans, and it freezes very well.

1 lb. ziti noodles
1 small onion, diced
1 lb. ground beef
2 jars of your favorite spaghetti sauce (I used traditional Prego)
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
6 oz. provolone, sliced (can be found next to the pre-packaged lunch meats or in the deli section)
2 Tb. parmesan cheese, grated

Brown onion with the beef. Drain. Cook ziti noodles and drain them. Pour 1 jar of spaghetti sauce into meat and 1 jar of sauce into the noodles. Put ingredients in 9 x 13" pan in the following order:
1. Pour half of the noodle/sauce mixture into pan.
2. Layer provolone slices on top.
3. Spread all the sour cream on top of provolone.
4. Put half of meat/sauce mixture on top of that.
5. Sprinkle on all the mozzarella cheese.
6. Pour remaining noodles on top of mozzarella.
7. Pour remaining meat mixture on top.
8. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Cover pan with foil and bake for 30 min. at 350*.
Remove foil and bake 5 more min. to make cheese bubbly. Enjoy!
