I came across this Easy Cheesy Spaghetti Bake Recipe while I was searching for casseroles one day. I pulled out my once very used deep cover baker from Pampered Chef a few months ago. I tend to buy kitchenware, use it non-stop for months, put it away and forget about it! I altered the recipe a bit to make it a tad bit healthier, add some veggies to it, and used my deep covered baker instead of a 13×9 casserole dish but other than that it tasted like a spaghetti lasagna! The kids weren’t too fond of it but then again they aren’t a fan of any kind of casserole but I consider a successful dinner because the kids just picked the topping off and ate the spaghetti!

I think this is a great dish to make in advance for a busy night. If you refrigerate it and pull out to come to room temperature while you are preheating your oven you’ll have dinner on the table stress free! My kids of course picked the meat off but they ate the pasta and cheese! So to this Momma that is a win!
