Spaghetti Stuffed Garlic Bread

Well here we are…back to Monday. I’m not sure how I feel about Mondays anymore. I used to hate them because it meant another week of work, but now that I ‘work from home’ and am a full time mother to a {crazy, insane, hyper} 3 year old, the days don’t really matter anymore. I’m always running around, running errands, cooking, cleaning, disciplining {yes, I know…contrary to popular belief my child isn’t perfect….shocking, I know} and doing everything else in between.

I don’t know about you other super moms but 98% of the time my brain feels fried. This may explain my aversion to listening to the news, conversing in intelligent conversations and reading anything other than celebrity gossip. Yeah. I’m a college grad that hates to read, pays no attention to worldly surroundings and thrives on People and US weekly.

Where’s Iran? In the Middle East perhaps…??? Why should I care about what’s happening in the Middle East? I’m not quite sure, but speaking of Iran, check out these cupcakes! –>TRUTH.

Just keeping it real, folks.

Anyways, this is all leading to something. What specifically, I’m not quite sure.

But this dinner is one of those meals where you can zone out while cooking it and have it still turn out delicious. Overall, this meal took me about 30 minutes to throw together and everyone loved it. My daughter said “Wow Mom this is good! I love spaghetti!”–> funny thing about this is usually she hates spaghetti. Pretty sure the buttery garlic bread won her over. #butterloverforever

The Alexia frozen garlic baguettes I used went directly from the freezer to the oven and cooked up crunchy on the outside and chewy and delicious on the inside. I almost didn’t stuff it chock full of spaghetti because it smelled and looked so good. But then I did and covered the whole thing with cheese. I do it because I can. Super yummy, ridiculously easy and really simple for us moms who share the fried brain syndrome.

Here’s how you make it:

First things first: grab your Alexia Garlic Baguettes out of the freezer and pop them into the oven. No need to defrost or let rise! Just toss it into the oven. My kind of bread 🙂

Then brown up some ground beef. I think this is 90/10…or something like that.

Drain it and set aside.

Saute some onions and garlic in a little olive oil until tender, about 3 minutes or so….

then toss in some jarred marinara, water, basil, oregano, sugar, salt, pepper, bay leaf and broken spaghetti pieces.

Stir it all up and cover. The spaghetti will soak up the water and cook pretty fast.

Now’s about the time that bread should be done. Isn’t it purdy? Mmm….garlic bread 🙂

After the spaghetti is all cooked and the sauce is really thick, stuff it in between each piece of bread and top with a little cheese.

Bake for a few minutes until it gets toasty and melty and that’s it!

Stuff your face!

Hope you like this recipe, friends! Enjoy!

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

• Place frozen garlic bread onto baking sheet and bake according to package directions.
• While the bread is baking, start by cooking the ground beef in a large skillet until browned. Pour onto paper towels to drain off excess fat.
• Place hot skillet back over the heat and sautee onions and garlic in olive oil until tender, 3-5 minutes. Pour browned beef back into pan along with marinara, water, dried spaghetti, sugar and seasonings. Stir together to coat spaghetti in sauce and cover. Reduce heat to medium low. Stir after 5 minutes. Replace lid and cook another 3-5 minutes or until spaghetti is cooked to your liking. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• By now the garlic bread should be out of the oven and cooling. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the spaghetti mixture in between each slice of garlic bread. If you have any leftovers, you can save it for another day or really stuff your garlic bread. Sprinkle each loaf with parmesan cheese and bake at 350 for 5-10 minutes or until your cheese has melted. Remove from oven and serve.
