Today, I am going to be making a
0:02
spaghetti pie dinner. Now, this recipe
0:05
comes out of my cookbook,
0:08
Staying Home for Dinner. And that's the
0:11
recipe right there. It's a really
0:13
delicious recipe and it kind of takes on
0:16
the flavors of a lasagna and a spaghetti
0:19
together. Other than that, it's going to
0:21
be in a pie-shaped dish. But, as you can
0:25
see, I'm going to be using these right
0:29
here, which are 9 in each, and I'm
0:33
doubling the recipe today because I have
0:34
kids coming over after work to pick up a
0:37
batch of these for themselves. So,
0:40
>> [laughter]
0:41
>> we'll be using these instead of the pie
0:44
plate. So, if you're doing the single
0:46
recipe and you want to use the pie
0:47
plate, you can do that also. And that is
0:51
what it looks like right there.
0:53
All right. So, the first thing we've
0:55
gotten going on for this is you're going
0:57
to want to get a large pot of water and
1:01
start bringing that to a boil. While
1:03
that's happening,
1:05
we're going to be in a large
1:08
skillet, and I've got my meat masher
1:10
here because we're going to take 2 lb
1:13
of ground beef and we're going to put it
1:15
into the skillet. We're going to start
1:16
breaking it up and browning it up.
1:19
Now, what I love about this recipe is
1:22
it's a good old standby recipe for
1:26
dinner.
1:27
It's got various layers to this recipe,
1:30
which I love. The spaghetti serves as a
1:35
crust, kind of like a pizza,
1:38
in the pie base of this recipe.
1:43
And then we got a few layers after that.
1:48
Now, while the ground beef is going to
1:50
be browning up in our skillet here,
1:52
we're going to be chopping up
1:54
a bell pepper and a yellow onion. So,
1:57
we're going to leave this right here and
1:58
let it do its thing.
2:02
And then I'm going to bring you over
2:03
here.
2:06
I've got about a 3/4
2:08
bell pepper here.
2:11
And then I have a yellow onion, just a
2:13
medium-size one right here. Now, the
2:15
pepper's already nice and clean, so I'm
2:17
just going to take off the
2:19
three
2:21
sides of it.
2:24
And then we'll just cut it into strips.
2:29
Now, the recipe calls for half of a bell
2:32
pepper and half of a yellow onion.
2:34
But since we're doubling up, I got a
2:36
little extra bell pepper here.
2:42
And
2:43
the whole onion.
2:44
Now, a lot of people tend to like to
2:46
take off that white piece right here on
2:48
the pepper on the inside, the membrane
2:50
there, but I just use it all.
2:53
Because it absorbs all the flavors and
2:56
it Really, you don't even know it's
2:57
there.
2:59
All right, tuck your fingers in, go
3:01
through the slices
3:03
till you get nice dices.
3:07
All right. There we go.
3:10
I'm going to scoop this off to the side
3:12
and we'll get our onion.
3:17
We'll get all these off of here.
3:19
There we go.
3:21
Now, I was making one of these for
3:23
Joseph and Megan.
3:25
So, they're going to come by after work
3:27
and pick this up so they can have a few
3:29
meals for their their work lunches. And
3:32
then
3:33
so I was like, "Okay, yeah, that's
3:35
totally fine." And then Rihanna was
3:37
coming over, so then I was like, "You
3:39
know what? If she sees them come over
3:42
and get a pan of these and I don't have
3:44
one for her,
3:46
she's not going to be happy." Y'all
3:48
wouldn't be either, right? I mean,
3:50
you understand?
3:52
I'll give one of them to Joseph and
3:55
Megan.
3:56
And
3:57
one of them to Rihanna, who will share
3:59
it with her boyfriend, Chris.
4:03
If y'all didn't know, that Joseph and
4:05
Megan are married.
4:06
And I'm still trying to get them over
4:07
here
4:08
to do a video for you guys.
4:11
They're so busy, and they got full-time
4:13
jobs. I lure them over here
4:16
with promises of food, right?
4:19
>> [laughter]
4:21
>> All right, so I'm just going to take the
4:23
slices now, and we're just going to dice
4:25
them.
4:26
What's great about this recipe is you
4:27
can do whatever you want with the
4:29
peppers and onions. If you don't like
4:31
them, you don't have to put them in
4:32
there.
4:33
But let me tell you, whoa, why would you
4:35
not?
4:38
Cuz I would.
4:43
All right, doesn't that look good?
4:46
Just take the ground beef. Now, that is
4:48
all of the chopping that we're going to
4:49
be doing.
4:54
There it is.
5:03
Now, the recipe calls for browning up
5:06
the ground beef totally, and then adding
5:08
your peppers and onions and softening
5:09
them down.
5:11
Well, I'm not going to do that.
5:12
Even though it is my recipe, I am going
5:15
to change it up, and I do lots of
5:16
recipes like that. I just change it and
5:19
do as I see fit sometimes.
5:27
Here goes the peppers.
5:34
And the onions.
5:41
All right, we'll get rid of that.
5:45
Now, if your ground beef is all broken
5:47
up already, you can chuck this.
5:57
And bring over your wooden spoon
5:59
or spatula.
6:02
Now, I'm going to bring you back as soon
6:04
as the ground beef is all browned up,
6:06
and then also,
6:08
we're going to go ahead and drain off
6:09
any excess grease out of there once it's
6:11
all browned up.
6:14
Right, our water is to a boil.
6:17
We're going to salt it with about half a
6:19
tablespoon
6:21
of some salt.
6:23
It'll help flavor the pasta.
6:29
We're going to add in 12 oz of the
6:31
spaghetti.
6:33
Boop, there it is.
6:34
I'm just kidding.
6:35
Here we go.
6:40
And we're going to kind of push it down.
6:43
Now, I don't add any oil to my pasta
6:45
water.
6:49
But once we get all the pasta in, we're
6:51
going to cook the pasta per the
6:54
directions on the back of the package
6:57
for al dente.
6:59
Now, I just take a spatula, start moving
7:01
my spaghetti around
7:03
for about 30 seconds.
7:06
That'll help the pasta from sticking.
7:10
And then you can come back to the pot
7:12
and give it a stir every few minutes or
7:13
so just to make sure nothing is sticking
7:15
together. Now, this is just the regular
7:18
standard pasta, and I'm going to cook it
7:22
for 10 minutes.
7:25
So, we're going to go over here, set our
7:26
timer.
7:30
Now, I will be trying this recipe at the
7:33
end for you guys.
7:35
Just not sure if it's going to be out of
7:36
Rihanna's, or if it's going to be out of
7:39
Joseph's and Megan's. So,
7:42
who do y'all think?
7:45
Now that the ground beef is all browned
7:47
up and the onions and the peppers are
7:49
nice and softened and I drained out all
7:51
the excess
7:53
grease from the pan, we're going to add
7:54
in 1 tsp of minced garlic.
7:59
Or as I like to say, more.
8:03
We're going to stir that in
8:05
for about 30 seconds.
8:10
It'll help release that garlic
8:12
into the ground beef and everything.
8:15
We're going to take one jar of pasta
8:17
sauce. This is 24 oz. Now, just remember
8:21
that I am doubling this recipe.
8:24
I want to keep reminding y'all that.
8:30
We're going to add it in.
8:34
And then what I did was I
8:37
took half a cup of the pasta water. I'm
8:40
just going to put it into the jar.
8:46
We're going to place the lid on and give
8:48
it a shake.
8:50
Loosen up that sauce. I only want about
8:52
half a cup of water. We don't want to
8:53
make this too runny.
8:56
We're going to add 2 tbsp of butter.
9:00
Uh,
9:00
little creaminess.
9:02
2 tbsp of white granulated sugar.
9:10
One and two.
9:14
We're going to season with some salt.
9:20
Some black pepper.
9:23
Now, what I found that I like is some
9:25
garlic powder in there.
9:28
That's not in the recipe, but I'm adding
9:30
it because I want to. And then, because
9:33
it's not in the recipe either, I'm not
9:35
sure even why, but I'm going to add in
9:37
some Italian seasoning just to kind of
9:39
jazz up that
9:40
the pasta sauce. There we go. Yep.
9:42
Get that in there and then we're going
9:44
to stir this all together.
9:46
Let's get it all combined.
9:50
Stir carefully so you don't want to go
9:52
everywhere. I've turned down my heat.
9:55
I want this to simmer.
10:00
So I got it on a low cuz we still got a
10:02
cheese mixture to make.
10:05
Now grab a spoon.
10:07
Give this a taste and make sure your
10:09
flavors are where you want them.
10:13
Cuz that's your flavor right there.
10:18
All right. I'm super excited because I
10:21
love this sauce right here. It is so
10:23
good.
10:30
Mhm.
10:32
Perfect.
10:35
All right. Turn it all the way down to
10:36
low. We're going to let that simmer.
10:39
Now because the sauce tends to spurt
10:41
around, I'm going to put a lid on it.
10:45
That way I don't have the sauce all over
10:46
my burners. For the doubled recipe, I am
10:49
shredding 8 oz of Swiss cheese,
10:53
mozzarella cheese that I'm going to
10:54
shred up also, 8 oz.
10:58
There we go.
10:59
Now we're going to make the binder. I'm
11:01
going to crack four eggs into a small
11:03
bowl.
11:06
Now I've turned off the burner where my
11:08
meat mixture is in.
11:13
So we're just going to get a whisk,
11:14
break up the eggs, and we're going to
11:16
get this nice and frothy.
11:18
Bring over the spaghetti. I've cooked it
11:20
already, drained it. I'll take off my
11:22
strainer here and we're going to add in
11:24
the eggs.
11:29
Butter.
11:31
2 Tbsp.
11:34
And then we're going to add in the Swiss
11:36
cheese.
11:38
Do y'all remember which one it was?
11:40
We're going to hope it's this one right
11:41
here.
11:42
>> [laughter]
11:43
>> We're going to add it in.
11:45
All of it. And we're going to blend that
11:47
all together.
11:54
Now we're going to spray these with some
11:55
cooking spray.
12:02
Now what we're going to do is divide the
12:04
spaghetti mixture
12:06
into both pans.
12:09
Flatten it out as much as you can. Kind
12:11
of go up the sides. Now you want to get
12:13
that nice and even.
12:15
Surprise, surprise. Now what we're going
12:18
to do is take some cottage cheese. We're
12:21
going to place 1 and 1/2 cups
12:25
in the center.
12:26
And then we're going to spread that
12:27
evenly.
12:30
Are y'all team cottage cheese or you
12:32
team ricotta?
12:35
I'm a big cottage cheese fan. And so
12:38
were my kids. Let's take the meat
12:40
mixture and we're going to put it on
12:42
top. My intent here is just to kind of
12:45
cover every inch of this pan with that
12:47
sauce.
12:49
Make it nice and saucy.
12:52
The spaghetti will absorb it.
12:55
All right, we're going to do the other
12:56
one now. So we're going to take the
12:58
mozzarella cheese. Make sure you cover
13:01
both of them really well with the
13:02
cheese.
13:07
It'll be like 4 oz on each.
13:10
I've got my oven preheated at 350°.
13:14
We're going to bake this for 30 minutes
13:17
until the cheese is nice and melted and
13:20
everything is heated through. Now I just
13:22
want to let you know that before I put
13:24
these in the oven, I I put them on a
13:26
sheet pan, cuz these are the temporary
13:28
pans, and they're kind of flimsy, so I
13:31
don't want them falling apart on me once
13:33
I try to get them in and out of the
13:34
oven. I pulled these out of the oven,
13:37
they've been resting for about 30
13:39
minutes to kind of pull themselves
13:40
together. I am going to cut a piece of
13:43
this, and then I'm going to give it a
13:45
try for you. I did sprinkle on some
13:49
parsley, if you can see that.
13:53
Here it is.
13:55
In all its glory.
14:02
There's my bite.
14:07
Mhm.
14:09
Mhm.
14:10
There you go. What do y'all think?
14:12
All right.
14:14
Another two thumbs up, you guys. This is
14:16
amazing. I hope the kids enjoy this.
14:20
That one right there.
14:22
I may steal another few pieces out of
14:24
there before I give it away.
14:26
>> [laughter]
14:27
>> All right, you guys. I will see y'all on
14:29
the next episode. Don't forget to give
14:31
me a thumbs up, hype the video, share it
14:33
with your family and friends who you
14:35
know
14:36
will love a spaghetti pie.
14:39
