Baked Spaghetti is a tasty twist on a classic meal! A quick and savory meat sauce combined with spaghetti and topped with delicious cheese, then baked in the oven until hot and bubbly! The perfect week-night dinner for family gatherings or potlucks.
Meatloaf, Chicken Noodle Soup, Homemade Macaroni and Cheese and THIS baked spaghetti are some of my very favorite comfort foods!
Our family LOVES spaghetti. It tastes delicious, it is simple to make and you really can’t mess it up! This baked spaghetti recipe is no exception! You get all the flavors of a traditional stove-top spaghetti dish, but the flavors combine just a bit more and the the melty cheese is amazing!
