Fazoli's Baked Spaghetti

This recipe was sooo good. We did make a few adjustments using meatballs and doubling it into 2 9x13 pans.

1# spaghetti, angel hair, etc
1# ground beef (we used frozen meatballs)
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
24 oz spaghetti sauce
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1 tsp red pepper
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus extra Parm to serve
5 tbsp butter, melted
2 cups (16 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese 

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain. Set aside.
Place beef/meatballs and onion in a large skillet. Place over medium heat and cook until meat is no longer pink, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon. (don't break the meatballs!!)
Remove from heat and drain grease from skillet.
Add spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt; mix and set aside.
In a large bowl, add eggs, Parmesan cheese and butter. Whisk to mix well.
Add prepared spaghetti to egg mixture. Toss to coat.
Place 1/2 of the spaghetti mixture in a greased 9x13 baking dish. (if you double, put 1/4 in bottom of both pans)
Top with 1/2 of the meat sauce. (1/4 if you double)
Top that with 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. (1/4 if you double)
Repeat layers - spaghetti, meat sauce, mozzarella cheese.
Cover and place in preheated oven. Bake for 40 minutes.
Uncover, place back in oven and bake 20 - 25 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
