Betty says "If you hold your uncooked spaghetti together in a bundle, 4 ounces is about as big around as the size of a quarter."

• 4 ounces uncooked spaghetti
• 1/2 pound lean ground beef
• 1 small green bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
• 1 small onion, chopped (1/4 cup)
• 1 (14-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (I used my homemade sauce)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup small curd creamed cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (2 ounces)

Heat oven to 375°. Grease pie plate, 10 x 1 1/2 inches. Cook spaghetti as directed on package.

While spaghetti is cooking, cook beef, bell pepper and onion in 10-inch skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain.

Stir in spaghetti sauce, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cook 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened.
Drain spaghetti. Place spaghetti in pie plate; gently press on bottom and 1 inch up side of pie plate.

Mix eggs and cottage cheese; spread evenly over spaghetti. Spoon beef mixture over cottage cheese mixture. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until center is set. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
