2 pounds lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 can (12 ounce size) Dr Pepper
2 cans (8 ounce size) tomato sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Meanwhile, brown the ground beef in a deep skillet or large saucepan. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the onion, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until the onion has softened.
Add the Dr Pepper, tomato sauce, and Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 more minutes.
Add the cooked pasta to the spaghetti sauce. Mix well. Stir in the mozzarella cheese. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish. Place in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until heated through.

This was really good, i just did a few tweaks for my own liking, I used 1 can of cento tomato sauce and one small can of cento tomato paste, with extra dried basil, extra oregano, and extra worshirsire sauce. The sauce seemed a bit thin so I added the tomato paste and it was perfect! Thank you for the recipe! I'll be adding it to my favorites!
