It’s not the traditional baked ziti either – the Best Baked Ziti we ever had

INGREDIENTS
1 pound dry ziti pasta1 onion, finely chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
2 ( 26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
6 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
1 1/2 cups sour cream
6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons grated (I use freshly shredded) Parmesan cheeseBring a large pot of  lightly salted water to a boil.

DIRECTIONS
Add ziti pasta and cook according to package directions; drain.In a large skillet, brown onion and ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat.   Add spaghetti sauce and simmer about 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter (I used olive oil cooking spray) a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. I also add a little of the sauce mixture to the bottom of the dish to prevent sticking. Layer as follows: 1/2 of the ziti, Provolone cheese, sour cream, 1/2 of sauce mixture, remaining ziti, mozzarella cheese and remaining sauce mixture. Top with Parmesan cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes in preheated oven on top of baking sheet. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.

This tastes much better the second day so if you decide to heat this up the next day after it’s been in the fridge than bake approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour covered and 10 minutes more uncovered.
