This casserole is a standby for church suppers and other potluck functions. Keeping the cover on during most of the baking time keeps it moist.—Doris Heath, Franklin, North Carolina

Like another person who rated this recipe said, there's another baked spaghetti recipe from TOH that I like better than this one. This was okay, but there was too much spaghetti in the middle, and the sauce wasn't juicy enough to soak down into the pasta. I think a sauce made with canned tomatoes would work better. I also wasn't fond of the crumb topping, and felt that it needed some cheese such as mozzarella....maybe instead of the cream cheese. All in all, it was pretty tasty, and my son, who loves spaghetti, thought it was good.

This recipe is fine but I have another one I like better. I think the cream cheese was just too much for this dish.

I made this for dinner and didn't much care for it. The cream cheese seemed to make the dish bland. It was better as left-overs (after sitting in the fridge over night) but still a bit tasteless. I do not think I will make this again.
