This baked ziti is always a hit! A lady I worked with brought this in one day, and everyone loved it. Now it is the favorite of all my dinner guests. I have made this also without the meat, and it is well received.
Ingredients
- 1 pound dry ziti pasta
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
- 6 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
- 1 ½ cups sour cream
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes; drain.
Step 2
Meanwhile, brown ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat; stir in spaghetti sauce and simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 4
Spread 1/2 of the ziti in the bottom of the prepared dish; top with Provolone cheese, sour cream, 1/2 of the meat sauce, remaining ziti, mozzarella cheese, and remaining meat sauce. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheeses have melted, about 30 minutes.

This dish is DELICIOUS! My kids love it and request it often. It’s also very easy to put together.
-
My husband loves this recipe more than my “regular” lasagne recipe! Great for company! DELICOUS!!!
-
This is *amazingly* good ! Try it!
-
This is an excellent recipe! It is delicious and really easy to make (hey, I’m a clumsy teenager and I made it for my family). I recommend it highly!
-
This was a big hit with my family. I used a jar of Ragu sauce with Romano cheese flavoring and was very happy with the results!
-
I tried this recipe using non fat sour cream, and it was very good. I halfed the recipe for a family of 4 and had plenty.
-
We really enjoyed this dish. Thanks
-
Definitely a 5 recipe card review. Works well with non-fat sour cream and non-fat mozarella. I used “Mom’s Best Spaghetti Sauce ” with this, minus the meatbalss, and increased the garilc by several cloves. Half of the recipe is enjoyed by my family, and the other half goes into the freezer or to a friend. Freezes well. You gotta try this one!
-
Delicious! My family loves it. I make sure I always have the ingredients on hand.
-
everyone in our family loves this recipe. they always come back for seconds. this is the best italian dish i’ve ever made.
-
What a great recipe! It was easy to prepare the pleased the whole family!
-
This was really great. I was looking for something different. My whole family loved it even my toddlers who won’t eat anything.
-
This recipe is fantastic, with or without the meat. I have often cooked this for guests and they really enjoy it. I have been asked for this recipe from friends on several occasions. I usually add red and green peppers to it for coloring and it is wonderful.
-
Excellent recipe! I added some Italian seasoning to make it a little more Rome. Will definatley make again!!
-
Liked the recipe but ran into several problems. First you need a larger than usuall pan for cooking the beef, because adding the spaghetti sauce takes up alot of space. Second I used a 9×13 baking pan and it filled them up to the top.
-
This was a wonderful meal! Honestly, my husband actually prepared it on his own! It turned out great. Ricotta cheese can be substituted for the sour cream. Definately try this one!
-
The recipe is excellent and extremely easy. Perfect for company.
-
WOW! This is a superb recipe…very yummy!!!
-
Really good! The recipe makes more than I need at one time, so I divide the recipe between two 1 1/2 qt casserole dishes. Freezes well! Good choice for casual company!
-
We are picky and this recipe is excellent! I used penne instead and also added 2 cloves of garlic when I was browning the beef. Next time I would freeze half. Try this one!
-
Kids love this recipe
-
I substituted ricotta cheese for the sour cream. Very good. I’m sure we’ll have it again. It would be good for guests too, served with a green salad and garlic or Italian bread.
-
I tried this on my family and they are hard to please with new things….They loves it and beeged fopr me to make it again soon.
-
Excellent!!!This is easy to prepare ahead of time when company is coming over. I made it early for company and we had time to relax by the pool and visit then just baked it in the oven 30 min. before we wanted to eat. Everyone loved it and had seconds! I used 2 large cloves of garlic and a 9×13 pan. I will definately be making this again! Thanks! 🙂
-
I added a couple of diced fresh garlic cloves to the beef and onions. This was excellent! The sour cream tasted wonderful.
-
This was the first recipe I tried from All Recipes and my family loved it. My sons are 22 & 23 – we always have a full house with their friends and every one loves this recipe. My son even makes it for Pot Luck at his work. Last time I made it one of the boy’s took some home for his girlfriend. Now they all want to know when I am going to make it. Great Recipe!!
-
My three year old doesn’t eat anything but he loved this recipe. He actually wanted seconds! Thanks!
-
Unbelievably Great! However Alter the recipe.. as far as pan size goes! You wont regret making this!
-
This was a great recipe. I did use a 13×9 pan though. It is the best “lasagna” type dish I have ever had.
-
This was my first attempt at cooking from a recipe I was not familiar with and my first recipe from this website. If I can make it, anyone can. I made it without beef and substituted ricotta cheese for sour cream. DELICIOUS, very cheesy, tastes just like Sbarros. My boyfriend thinks I can actually cook now. You may want to use a bigger pan (13 x 9) though. It was overflowing! Wonderful recipe. Anyone will like it.
-
Very good. I love pasta and it had a great flavor with the sour cream.
-
This recipe was my first attempt at a family dinner, and it was wonderful!! 😉
-
Excellent recipe, my only comment is that the pan size is small and it overflows… the taste is great.. my kids loved it..
-
It was wonderful! The sour cream gave
the dish a very interesting taste. I
can’t wait to serve this to company!
Lydia -
My husband is a pasta lover and he LOVED this dish. WHen he says you can make this again that mean alot coming from him.
-
This recipe is delicious! My husband loves this dish. Great for company.
-
This was a pretty fast recipe to put together. My kids loved it.
-
I agree with SherryM, this is a quick and easy receipe to do. I put a cookie sheet under my 13 X 9 pan to catch the overflow. Keep up the good work.
-
Your baked ziti is the best! People rave about it! Everybody I’ve made it for wants the recipe.
-
Aloha Colleen:
Just tried your Ziti, although…. ala vegetarian style, as my hubby is a vegetarians, and I must
say that it was EXCELLENT! I added lots of garlic and some extra italian spices to the sauce to compensate for the
meat and that extra added “punch” but all in all, that is a great recipe and I am looking forward to some
more of your recipes….thanx! and as we in Hawaii say the word for “delicious” is “ono” very ONO INDEED!Much Aloha to all !
Marika -
thisa was my first attempt at what i thought would be a complicated recipe, it wasnt! i was a little disapointed with the taste. i took the liberty of adding a healthly dose of garlic 🙂 that did not completly satisfy this “italian food loving african american) the ease and quickness of preparing it impressed me! can be divided up and frozen(something i love) the taste left me wishing i was born italian:) lisahi829
-
You need hardly any special ingredients & the sour cream adds a great ‘sweet’ taste. Loved it! Had it for leftovers for 3 days!
-
This recipe was a “no-brainer”. It was farily quick and super easy. The whole family liked it, even my son who usually “disects” his food before he tries it. If you like pasta then you should give this recipe a try. (We will have leftovers tomorrow, we’ll see if it gets dry).
-
Great recipe! I did have to alter the pan size and the second time I made it I used ricotta cheese and mixed in half as much sour cream. Both times my family loved it. There were left-overs, but only for one day. My two grandkids (5&2) both ate thirds!
-
I enjoyed this dish, but next time I will omit the sour cream, either substituting it with ricotta or nothing at all.
-
This is a wonderful recipe. I just made it today and everybody loved it. I will make it again.
-
Yummy!!
-
Wonderful recipe! Easy, quick, convenient! Great for a busy Mom like me!
-
Everyone in my family of 5 loved this and that doesn`t happen very often!!!
-
Delicious! Definitely a keeper!
-
This recipe has become a family favorite. The blend of cheeses and sour cream with the spaghetti sauce and meat is divine!
-
As a professional chef and busy Mom I tried this for my very picky children. It was super easy and a definate winner for a quick dinner. We are Italian by descent and this is the first time I ever used a canned tomato sauce. Great for those pot luck dinners we always have to get to.
-
I took this dish to a pool party and everyone loved it! My Mother-in-law even said it was better than her baked ziti! Ha!
-
Very Good Ziti Recipe! Whole family loved it! Especially my two young sons!
-
something fast & easy yet still a
good homed cooked meal for my family
after a hard a at work for mom -
My husband loved the baked ziti.I will definatly make it again.
-
Like a lasagne. I couldn’t find any Ziti pasta anywhere, so I just used curly noodles. I think it was supposed to have flat noodles, like a lasagne. It was pretty good. The flavourful cheese was what made it really good.
-
Very good baked ziti .. I made my own sauce rather than the jarred sauce and used pepperoni instead of ground beef, but the mixture of cheeses gave the ziti good flavor and the sour cream (i used 1/2 as much as called for) made it more creamy
-
We loved this. I wouldn’t tell young ones that there is sour cream in it, my kids kind of went”YUCK” but once they tried it, they liked it. This recipe went in to my recipe box the first time that I made it :o)
-
My family and I really enjoyed this recipe. It was easy to fix and very flavorable.
-
Awesome recipe! My whole family loved this. Serves more than eight easy.
-
I loved this! I manipulated the recipe a bit. We have a gourmet grocery store in town and I bought some really great sausage instead of round beef. I also used some extra spices and eye balled the amount of cheese needed. The spaghetti sauce I used was green pepper/mushroom and garlic/onion. The sauce will make or break this meal! I thoroughly enjoyed this and will continue to make this dish for all occassions!
-
My “spaghetti and macaroni and cheese” only family loved it. I like the fact it was easy to prepare and minimal “chopping” for me. The flavors blend well and it is not watery.
-
My husband always does the cooking in our house, and he always made us eat “his version” of a pasta/cheese casserole, UNTIL I made this – the whole family LOVED it-and I added some garlic and Monteray Jack cheese. I will make this often ! Thanks ! Marianne
-
Great recipe. My family really liked it
-
I made this last night for my family. Everyone liked it. I substituted elbow macaroni for ziti. I didn’t have any ziti on hand, and didn’t feel like going to the store. Still tasted fine. I will probably make this again.
-
My son is really a picky eater. He really liked the baked Ziti. He even told me it was great and he’d like it again! I doubled the recipe and froze a tray for later when I am too busy to cook.
-
This is a great on-the-run dinner for my family!
-
Great recipe! It’s fast and easy to make and freezes well. Tastes almost like a lasagna but better!
-
Tasty, very dense. This meal sticks to your ribs. We added 4 cloves of diced garlic to the sauce to perk it up some. Makes awesome leftovers!
-
An excellent blend of the perfect ingredients.
-
Everyone loves this one. It is especially good when I use my homemade roasted tomato sauce. Great company recipe as there is plenty of time to be with guests.
-
yummy, and very simple to make … it tastes so good, everyone always wants to have more!
-
This was very good. My boyfriends words were “it rocks”. Everybody went back for seconds.
-
I made this recipe for my family using Delmonte’s “Traditional” flavor spahetti sauce in a 26.5 oz. can. I also added a tablespoon of minced garlic and just a wee bit of salt and pepper to the meat as I browned it. Also added a dab or two of Worchestershire sauce to the meat as it was browning. The results were fabulous. The whole family loved it and I have since passed the recipe to two friends who have made it and loved it. This one is a definate keeper. It taste even better warmed up the next day.
Thanks to the author for sharing this recipe.Suzy Alexander
-
I think I’ll use a larger dish next time. It was very good with a salad and bread. Great leftovers
-
I made this for dinner tonight and my husband loved it. This recipe was VERY good! I would highly recommend this one! YUM!
-
I thought this was a very tasty yet simple dish to make. I’m sure I’ll make it again but I think I’ll try using low fat instead of nonfat sour cream. The nonfat gave it sort of a weird taste. Fat free mozarella worked out fine though. I would also use a bigger dish. Good recipe!
-
This is the greatest baked dish i’ve ever had! I make it on Sundays and eat it all week long.
-
I used a 9 X 13 pan instead and it was still full. My husband really liked it. It tastes a lot like lasagna.
-
This is the BEST Baked Ziti! It’s just my husband and myself so I cut the recipe in half. We loved it.
-
I think the 8×12 baking dish is not big enough to use all the ingredients. I used a 13×9 and still had some pasta and sauce left over.
-
THIS WAS DELICIOUS!!! MY HUSBAND AND I LOVED IT. THANKS FOR THE GREAT RECIPE!!
MICHELLE -
tastes better next day!
-
This is absolutely delicious! The leftovers are terrific…you can’t go wrong with this one.
-
I had a July 4th party and made this as one of my dishes. Everyone just loved it. I couldn’t believe all of the compliments I received. It was just wonderful!!
-
I knew I had a winner when my husband went back for thirds on this dinner. I read the reviews and knew it made a lot so i made it in three loaf pans and cooked one for dinner and froze the other two. One out of the three loaf pans feeds a family of four. I will definately keep this recipe and it will be great for our family reunions when you need to feed a lot of people.
-
We made this for our daughter’s christening. It was a big hit, but we had to add sugar and spices to the sauce to get the right flavor for our family.
-
When I fix baked ziti I usually just use the recipe on the box. This was much better. My husband really enjoyed it.
-
YUMMY!! My husband and I loved this recipe. Instead of ziti I used a variety of different pastas. It was GREAT!!
-
I LOVE Italian foods, and this Ziti is the BEST I HAVE EVER MADE! Everyone asked for the recipe.
-
Good meal! I added sauteed onions and green peppers to the sauce and cut out the provolone cheese. Very good, but I think next time I might cut out the sour cream. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
-
This recipe is fantasitc ! My husband and everyone else I have made it for has raved and raved. Also it’s very easy to make and take relatively few ingredients. I love it !
-
I was surprised at how good this was. I used organic, low fat sour cream; organic pasta sauce and 5% fat ground meat. I didn’t expect much from this recipe but will definitely make this again. I think the sour cream did the trick. Now I’m wondering if sour cream would be a good replacement for ricotta in lasagne!
-
Mmmmm! Delicoius! I’ve never made ti with the meat, but even without its just soooo good! Thsi is my favorite recipe– and my family’s too. I find that if you dump all the ingredients into a big bowl and mix it up (noodles, too) and then just spread that on the baking pan, it goes faster and its cheesier and gooey-er. Its quick to whip up, just takes awhile to bake
-
THIS RECIPE IS SO SIMPLE…MY FAMILY LOVED IT.
-
Great food and I even forgot the parmesean!
-
This recipe made a huge, HUGE!, amount of food. I took it to a church potluck and it was gone within 20 minutes. Definately use a big pan — my 9 x 13 was brimming over with food 🙂 Maybe cook it in two smaller pans? Thanks for the recipe 🙂
-
I’m Italian and having cooked and eaten great Italian food over the years, I have to say that this is the best Baked Ziti I have ever eaten. The creamy layer of provolone & sour cream in the middle add great taste & texture. I added extra garlic & about 2 tblsp. of sugar to the sauce (“Five Brothers” or “Classico” Tomato & Basil were great)to give it a mildly sweeter taste. It is best to make this in a 9 X 13 in. pan – it was filled to the top. I then topped it with Kraft Parmesan cheese with garlic….it was fantastic!
-
I’ve made this three times now and it is always well received. It tastes just as good with low fat sour cream, low fat mozzarella and fat free sauce.
