Hi there folks and welcome to the hillbilly kitchen today we’re making another viral recipe this is an absolutely delicious pasta baked casserole you got to try this one now I did a viral chicken casserole a while back and some people were like why are you calling it a viral recipe well this

Recipe has gone viral there’s everybody’s doing their own version of it and of course I’m going to do my own version of it but it’s a really quick easy dinner and it’s absolutely delicious everybody in your family is going to love it they’re going to want

You to make it again and again and again and you can add all sorts of stuff to it and you know turn it into your own thing and you can do everything from scratch if you want to but if you do it like this you can have dinner on the table in

Less than 30 minutes so what you need is a pound of pasta now everybody just about using spaghetti but when I do stuff like this I like to use something like a pean or a ziti or a a a rotini because that kind of grabs the sauce and it also makes it

Easier to eat it gives it a little more body it’s easier to eat and it holds the sauce you need two jars of sauce you need one jar of spaghetti sauce and one jar of alfredo sauce and you can make it homemade if you’ve got time and you want

To make it all homemade you need two cups of shredded mozzarella cheese or something else if you prefer you can mix some um parmesan in with it if you want to and about a pound of ground beef or turkey or chicken or whatever you want

To ground in it but about a pound of ground beef is what I’m using and I think I actually have about a pound and a half that’s just what size the pack was just you need at least a pound and we’re going to Brown our ground beef now

You can cut up some peppers and onions to go in this and um that adds a little more vegetables to the dish if if you want to but if you don’t have time to just season it with some salt and some pepper maybe a little garlic powder and

We’re whoa we’re not going to put that much salt in our pasta I’ve got some water over here boiling for my pasta put some pepper here on my hamburger and I thoroughly salted that hamburger too there a little onion powder and like I said if you want to cut up some peppers

And onions in this some bell peppers and onions that would be delicious some fresh arlic whatever but if you’re in a hurry this works and we’re going to go ahead and cut our oven on and get it preheating to about 350 cuz we are going to put this

In the oven long enough to Brown it you’re not going to need to put it in the oven more than like 15 minutes and if it’s summertime when you’re making this and you don’t want to heat the house up just put it under the broiler and brown it for a couple

Minutes all right our pasta water is boiling I I think I’m going to use this one today the the Ziti and normally I would have a bigger pot but this stove that’s all it’s going to handle you do want to wait until your water is at a full boil before you add

Your pasta to [Applause] it okay now you want to cook your pasta to the like whatever the time range is for cooking it on your box where my time oh there it is this says 9 to 10 minutes so I don’t want to cook this any longer than 9 minutes

Because it’s going to continue to cook in the oven after we add all of our sauce to this so once you get it in there and it starts to come back to a boil I’m going to set my timer for 9 minutes all right get your casserole

Dish ready you are going to want a deep at least a 9 by 13 casserole dish if you’ve got one of the big lasagna pans you can also use it but this is not going to fit in a small casserole dish so make sure you have a deep one spray

It with a little non-stick sprayer wipe it with some butter oil or something like that while this is cooking and we’re getting ready to layer this in our casserole dish let’s talk just a minute about how much this meal costs now pasta and pasta sauces are some of those

Things that if you’ve got a family you should really have stocked in your pantry and you should only buy them when they are on sale um I got the pasta one of the local grocery stores did a buy one get one free sale on the store

Brands and I got it for about 80 cents a box now that’s a pound and pasta usually has an exp an expiration date of two or three years and then it’s good for at least a year after that uh the same thing with the the pasta sauce it’s good

For at least a year the expiration date and then you can use it several months after the expiration date uh the fda’s new guidelines have really stretched it out there but you can use it for quite a while after the expiration date several months and it’s fine and it I bought

This um it was a buy five save five deal so it was like $1.79 um the cheese even I did a buy one get one free sale at a local grocery store and it was like $1.79 it was less than $2 at the buy one get one free s

Sales and cheese has an expression date usually of several months so only buy that stuff when it’s on sale and it will save you an absolute Fortune so we’ve got less than $4 here with the pasta $5 the cheese we’re at about seven and you can get a pound of ground beef still

Look for the sales you can always find some grade of ground beef for around $4 a pound now sometimes you can get it cheaper one of our local grocery stores does a special where um they do a pick five meats and you can get it for $15 which means you’re getting a pound

For about $3 and then they’ll do a sale where you can buy the big packs of ground chuck for $2 a pound if you buy store brand items so you know really shop for that stuff but even if you do the $4 a pound meat we’re looking at

Like $11 for this casseroll and this will feed a really big family or it’ll feed a family of four at least two times so you know that’s not bad way way way cheaper than even the cheapest fast food you can get and it’s quick and easy so take advantage of those grocery

Store sales let’s Le than $11 you can make this you can probably get it in there around $8 or $9 if you shop all the sales once your pasta is done we’re going to drain it and since our pot’s so small I’m going to add my alfredo sauce in here

And heat it up now if my pot was bigger I would have dumped my alfredo sauce back in the pot and heated it up with my pasta but it’s not so I’m going to do it this way and like I said this little bitty stovey here or little bitty stove

That’s about the best I can do all right and I’m going to adjust the grease in my um hamburger get some of it out of there cuz I don’t want this super greasy I mean there’s plenty enough grease in the sauces this don’t have a ton of fat in

It it was some pretty lean meat and now I’m going to dump my spaghetti sauce in here and Heat this up and what this does is this means we don’t have to put it in the oven for very long at all because everything that’s going into the oven is going to be very

Hot all right everything is boiling and bubbling and hot so now we’re just going to layer it in our casserole dish put our pasta in and whatever kind of pasta you got will work I mean there really is nothing that won’t work we’re going to put our Alfredo on

Top of our pasta and kind of mix the Alfredo into the pasta and then we’re going to layer the rest of the stuff on top of this all right that’s good spread that layer there out a little bit and now we’re going to put our bubbly hot

Spaghetti sauce and ground beef on top of this this this already smells absolutely delicious Alex heard about this one and she’s a pasta fan and definitely an alfredo fan and she’s like oh my gosh together with the marinara and the Alfredo she’s really she was really really excited about this and like I

Said this is delicious you got to try it kind of spread this all around you could even if you wanted to um dump some vegetables in here but what I would do is maybe uh serve this with a salad some bread sticks or maybe just some fresh

Fruit for dessert and now the good part we’re putting the cheese on top and this is really the only reason why you have to put it in the oven is you want to get that cheese kind of brown so like I said if it’s summertime and you don’t want to

Heat up the house and you’re in a big hurry just turn the oven on broil and stick it under there for a minute or if you don’t have an oven you could uh just layer this in a skillet I’m going to put the whole two cups on

Here you can put whatever you want to but you could layer this in a skillet and just put a lid on the skillet and uh letting it sit there and the cheese would melt and we’ve done Skillet casseres like that before it’s not hard

At all so you don’t have to even put it in the oven anyway it’s in there it’s all layered you could put some bread crumbs on top of this or some of the little um onions on top of it you know the fried onions would be good or anything else

You like to top cassels with but I’m just doing the basic today and I changed the pasta cuz like I said I like it better with a pasta that will hold some of that sauce and it’s also much easier to dip out and eat than the spaghetti

Pasta in the oven 350 until it’s brown if you’re in a hurry turn it up to 400 till it’s brown while we’re waiting to get our delicious pasta bake out of the oven uh some of you might have noticed the Big 10 back here behind me if you missed

Our live stream on uh Valentine’s Day 2024 we celebrated our 10th birthday the hillbilly kitchen was started on February 14th 2014 and we just passed 10 years so we did a big live stream and we are still waiting to hear from wisdom of the word about our lunch invitation so

If you lost in or something and didn’t hear the rest of the live stream email me we’re waiting to hear from you uh and if you missed that we did have a good time Alex was with me and uh we talked and I told the story about how

The hillbilly kitchen and stuff got started and how it came to be uh even told how Alex ended up working for me and you know why she’s here now but that’s in our lives if you want to go watch that we would appreciate it and we

Really are glad that you’ve all been a part of this for 10 years you’ve made the 10 years possible and I want to share a verse with you because that’s part of what the hillbilly kitchen is part of it is including our Lord in

It this one sort of spoke to me I don’t know I’ve kind of been under a little bit of conviction and I think maybe it might speak to a lot of folks but it’s Ezekiel 44:23 and they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the

Profane and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean we as Christians should be set apart from the world our speech should be different the way we treat each other should be different we should reflect Christ and I heard a preacher back oh I don’t know

Maybe a year year and a half ago he said if it’s not of God it’s against God if it’s not something Christ would do it’s not something you should do so as Christians we do need to learn to discern between the clean and the unclean and we need to know the

Difference between the holy and the profane if it is not of God it is against God and like I said that’s I’ve kind of been under conviction myself and I thought maybe it was something that I could share get some of y’all praying about and working toward because as

Christians we really should be different than the rest of the world and I also want to ask you to please say a special prayer for Alex um she’s not sick or anything but she does have something going on and I know know she would really really appreciate your prayers

About it I’m not going to say what it is but I think maybe we might be doing another live stream real soon and uh I’ll let her share but I know she would appreciate your prayers so if you would say a special prayer for Alex I would

Appreciate it and so would she now let’s see what this pasta viral pasta bake looks like see why everybody’s making it oh my goodness this is a bubbly and golden and it tastes as good as it looks but did you ever see anything that looks

Quite that good you do want to let this sit for maybe 5 minutes while you’re well you ain’t going to have to call them to the table if you pull this out of the oven they’re going to smell it from the far ends of the house even from

Outside but let it cool about 5 minutes before you scoop it out that kind of gives the sauce time to set and the cheese time to set it’ll still be stringy in 5 minutes but give it just a a few minutes before you scoop it out

Because you do want all your sauces you know you layer the Alfredo and the um the pasta sauce the marinara sauce in there it’s all pasta sauce the marinara sauce or spaghetti sauce whatever you got and any kind of work use a flavor you like but give this one a try like I

Said on the table less than 30 minutes and around around $10 to feed eight people I mean this will feed a crowd and it’s got the vegetables in it already in the sauce it’s got the protein in it and it got the you know the cheese and the meat and stuff absolutely

Delicious save it it’s good for winter and summer cuz you can just put it under the broer in the summertime thank you so much for joining us again in the hillbilly kitchen if you have not already please don’t forget to click like and subscribe before you
