Hillbilly Spaghetti Pie

Hillbilly Spaghetti Pie 1/2 - cup onion, chopped 2 - tablespoons olive oil 1/2 - pound ground beef 1/2 - pound sweet Italian sausage (3- 4 links with casings removed) 2-garlic cloves, minced 1 - (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes 1/4 - teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 - tsp Italian seasoning 1 - tablespoon sugar 1 - teaspoon salt (or to taste) 2 - cups water 8 - ounces thin spaghetti, broken into 3 inch pieces (not angel hair) 1/4 - cup heavy whipping cream 1 - teaspoon dried basil 1/2 - cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese 2 - cups grated mozzarella cheese large cast iron skillet or 9 x 13 in baking dish Start by sauteing the onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil, on medium heat 5 minutes. Add beef and sausage, brown over medium-hi heat. When the meat is almost brown, add garlic, Italian seasoning and oregano. I drained off the grease from the ground beef and sausage before continuing with the recipe. Once browned, stir in crushed tomatoes, water, sugar and salt. Add broken spaghetti. Push spaghetti into liquid, and cover for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, stir pasta so the noodles won’t stick together. Reduce heat to medium low simmer for 6 more minutes until pasta is al dente (almost cooked but still a little firm). Add basil, Parmesan cheese, and cream, stir well. Sprinkle top with mozzarella cheese, put in oven to broil until spotty brown.
