Spaghetti Bake

3/4 lb ground beef ** I don't always use Ground Beef**
1 (32 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 pound spaghetti
1 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese ** I always add another 1/2c. to 1 c. extra**
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In large skillet, cook hamburger until brown. Mix spaghetti sauce into skillet. Reduce heat and simmer.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Mix in pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

 Mix together spaghetti and meat mixture, add 3/4c Cheese to spaghetti & meat mixture pour into 9x13 pan. Top with more cheese and bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is bubbly. ** I always use a lot of cheese on top so it seeps down into the bake to make it really cheesy**  I serve this with a Salad & Garlic Bread***
