This is a family favorite. As much as I like just plain old spaghetti, this is much better and it is all mixed and ready to go. I think the flavor is great.
This time when I made it, I used whole wheat pasta and half ground turkey. I also decided to use two pie plates rather than a 9X13 dish; that way I was able to freeze one pan and we will have a dinner on a night that I don't feel like cooking. The prep is just slightly time consuming, but you can do it anytime during the day and then just pop it in the oven when you're ready!

***** Love it and will make again!
You may or may not know me - but I am Aspen Hadley's little sister. Aspen has told me what a great cook you are and I found this BLOG through Alison's and I LOVE IT! Last night I made this Spaghetti Casserole and it was so so good! I have to admit, I'm not a fan of spaghetti, but this had so much flavor and I think I'm hooked! I will definitely be making it again!
Keep the recipe's coming! I hope you don't mind, I put a link to this recipe BLOG on my BLOG because I love it so much!
P.S. I do have two things that confused me about the recipe, and although I'm easily confused, it may help to clarify. :)
1. It called for 3 cans of tomato sauce: I have the 15 oz. cans, but I think it meant the 8 oz. cans so I just measured out 24 oz.
2. In the directions it never actually said to mix the 1 1/2 cans of water into the mixture, which I'm sure was just assumed to do it and I did.
