Time to make the best baked spaghetti casserole you’ve ever had!
Start by boiling the water and cooking the pasta according to the package directions.

While the noodles are cooking, cook the ground beef and onions over medium heat in a large skillet.

After the meat is browned, drain the grease and return the meat to the pan.
Add in the spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt, stir it together and then set it aside for now.

In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, and butter until they are well combined.

When the pasta is done cooking, drain the noodles and then add them to the egg mixture, tossing the noodles making sure to coat all the pasta.

In a greased 9×13 pan, place half of the noodle mixture into the bottom and then top it with half the cottage cheese, and then a layer of meat sauce and finally mozzarella cheese.

Repeat this one more time and then cover the pan with tin foil and bake it at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

After the 40 minutes, uncover the casserole and bake it for another 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
