A delightful twist on classic spaghetti and burgers, combining them into a cheesy baked dish.
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Adding a bit of oil to the boiling water can help prevent the spaghetti from sticking together.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with half of the ketchup, salt, and pepper, then shape into small patties.
Chilling the patties for a few minutes before cooking helps them hold their shape.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties until browned on both sides, then set aside.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to keep them juicy.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion and celery until softened, then add the tomatoes and remaining ketchup. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Adding a splash of water or broth can help deglaze the skillet and enhance the sauce's flavor.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the sauce and transfer to a baking dish.
Mixing the spaghetti with the sauce ensures even flavor distribution.
Place the beef patties on top of the spaghetti mixture and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Using freshly grated cheese melts better and provides a richer flavor.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes after baking to make serving easier.
Serve hot and enjoy your Cheesy Spaghetti Burger Bake with a side salad or garlic bread.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
