  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

– 6 round rolls (5-6 inches in diameter) for the bread bowls

– 4 ounces (ΒΌ of a 16-ounce box) spaghetti noodles, cooked

– 24 ounces spaghetti sauce

– 1 pound ground beef

– Salt and pepper to taste for seasoning

– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

– 1 cup (2 sticks) melted butter for garlic butter

– 2 tablespoons minced garlic for garlic butter

– 1 teaspoon kosher salt for garlic butter

– 1 tablespoon minced parsley for garlic butter

Instructions

1-Getting started: Getting started with bread bowl spaghetti is straightforward, and I’ll guide you through each part to make it fun and easy. Begin by preheating your oven to 350Β°F, which sets the stage for a crispy finish. This method ensures your dish bakes up golden and delicious without much hassle.

2-First, brown the 1 pound of ground beef in a skillet until it’s no longer pink, which takes just a few minutes over medium heat. Once that’s done, add the 24 ounces of spaghetti sauce along with salt and pepper to taste, then let it simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors. Next, stir in the cooked 4 ounces of spaghetti noodles to coat them evenly and keep the mixture warm while you prepare the rest.

3-Meanwhile, make the garlic butter by mixing 1 cup of melted butter with 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon of minced parsley. Cut the tops off the 6 round rolls and hollow out the centers, leaving the bases intact for sturdiness. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush their insides and outsides generously with the garlic butter, using about 2-3 tablespoons per roll.

4-Filling and Baking Steps: To fill each bread bowl, start by adding 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese at the bottom. Follow that with about Β½ cup of the spaghetti mixture and top it off with another tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese. This layering helps melt the cheese perfectly and keeps everything inside the bowl.

5-Bake the filled rolls for 7-10 minutes until they’re golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Once out of the oven, garnish with a bit of parsley for a fresh touch. This approach, with a total prep time of 30 minutes and cooking time of 10 minutes, makes for a quick yet impressive meal that everyone will enjoy.
