1/2 lb ground beef

1/2 lb ground Italian sausage

1 cup yellow onion, diced

1 Tbsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 (24oz) jarred marinara sauce

FOR THE ALFREDO:

1 Tbsp fresh garlic, minced

2 cups heavy cream

HOW TO MAKE

-Preheat the oven to 350, and spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

-Cook spaghetti noodles to al dente according to package directions. Once done, drain, and set aside.

-In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef, Italian sausage, and onion.

-Break up the meat, and cook until no longer pink. 

-Add in garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir to coat meat.

-Drain any excess grease then stir in marinara sauce. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

-While the meat sauce simmers, make the alfredo sauce. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. 

-Add garlic, stir, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

-Stir in heavy cream, 2 cups Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. 

-Cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

-Remove from heat.

-Add the cooked spaghetti to the alfredo sauce, and stir until the noodles are coated.

-Pour the alfredo noodle mixture into the baking dish. Spread evenly.

-Add the meat sauce on top of the alfredo noodles. Spread evenly.

-Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

-Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.

-Broil on high for 1-2 minutes to slightly char the cheese.

-Garnish with fresh parsley.

-Enjoy!
