Recipe Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef and diced onion together until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is translucent, usually taking about 5-7 minutes.
-
Once the beef and onion are cooked, drain off any excess fat.
-
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until it’s al dente, then drain it well.
-
In the skillet with the cooked beef and onion, add the cooked spaghetti, stirring everything together until well combined.
-
To the mixture, add the dry mustard, curry powder, brown sugar, water, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Sprinkle grated cheese generously over the top of the casserole mixture, covering it completely.
-
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
-
Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
-
Serve hot, portioning out generous servings for your family or guests to enjoy!
-
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating individual portions in the microwave or oven until heated through.
