Ingredients
Scale
- 5 Italian Bread Boules
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound spaghetti noodles
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ yellow onion (diced)
- 24 oz pasta sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and sauté diced onions for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30-45 seconds before draining excess grease.
- Season the meat with Italian seasoning, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour in the pasta sauce and mix well. Toss in the cooked spaghetti until evenly combined.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Hollow out each bread boule by cutting off the top and removing some bread from inside.
- Mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley; baste each bread bowl generously with this mixture. Fill each bowl with the spaghetti mixture and top with shredded mozzarella.
- Place filled bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
