Every time that I make this cheesy dish, I get requests for the recipe. It puts a different spin on spaghetti and is great for any meal. The leftovers, if there are any, also freeze well for a quick dinner later in the week. —Ruth Koberna, Brecksville, Ohio

I liked this because I felt it was a little different than the typical baked spaghetti casserole. My boyfriend said he would have liked it better with more tomatoes. I personally like the cream of mushroom sauce on the top and wouldn't change it if it were for just me.

Used this recipe for the first time for a Christmas Party this year. I knew there was going to be a crowd so I doubled the recipe.(it made a HUGE amount) The Baked spaghetti was the hit of the party!!!!!! We didn't bring one bit home! Did increase the amount of cheese. I mixed the cheese into the spaghetti before putting it in the baking dish. Really spread the cheesy around nicely. Love, Love Love this recipe!!!! The family has been begging me to make it again already.

Love this dish! Always make 2 pans, 1 with pasta and the other with spaghetti squash (cut open remove seeds ect then rub with cut garlic and olive oil,bake about 45 min.when cooled scrape out "noodles") we all actually like the squash better plus it's diabetic and figure friendly. I mix soup in with sauce cause it's easier and tastes fine. Try this you'll love it.

I cook for bingo, and I have made this several times. Everyone loves it, and it's easy to make. I have also made it several times for my family. They also think it's super delicious. I do add salt and pepper. I triple the recipe and make homemade bread.

I have been using this recipe for a long time! It is so good :) if you're in a hurry you can skip the onion & green pepper & burger, as well as use spaghetti sauce. Although it tastes best following the recipe as stated.

I added some Italian Seasoning, garlic powder, salt & Pepper for a bit more flavor. I cooked my beef and vegetables in olive oil, for all I believe that all Italian dishes must have olive oil. Also added it to the spaghetti water. It needed about 1 1/2 cans mushroom soup and another 1/8 cup water. I felt that it was a little dry so I willtry adding more tomatoes to it next time. Took this to a church dinner and still got lots of compliments and requests for the recipe.

Not bad, it came out a little plain and had no taste (I followed the recipe without any changes). I would add more salt and seasonings before baking this dish. I added seasonings and hot sauce to this after I noticed it had no taste and it eas then edible and I didn't mind it but my husband barely touched his plate so I wouldn't make this again.

I must say this was absolutely delicious. I made mine with whole wheat spaghetti, ground turkey and followed the rest of the recipe to a tee. I will be making this again, thanks for sharing!

unexpectedly good! I was a bit skeptical (mushroom soup?!) but I trusted what the reviewers said gave it a try. Really good! My father-in-law and husband both had three helpings! I did change a couple things: yellow pepper instead of green, and fresh mushroom instead of canned, since this is what I had. I also left out the meat to keep it vegetarian. I also assembled everything the night before and then popped it into the oven for dinner, which made things that much easier on a busy mom. I will be making this again.

I started making this recipe in 1994 when I first saw it in a Taste of Home magazine. I have found none to compare to this version of baked spaghetti. Everyone that tries it wants the recipe. This recipe is not a traditional tomato based type, but is rather creamy with enough oregano to give it that special ooomph! 18 years is a long time to make a recipe. It's definitely a keeper. This makes quite a bit. I fed my growing family of four way back in 1994 and had leftovers for several days. Now I make it in its full recipe, but freeze much of it so that I can have it later. I don't add the cheese to the top of the frozen ones until ready to bake. This recipes freezes beautifully.

I have made this a few times now. I have made a few adjustments, I add only 1 can of tomatoes, also I add garlic salt and Mrs Dash Spicey seasoning (2 tsps each) to the mixture when I add the oregano. I also add a little paprika to the cream if mushroom sauce before I spread the soup over the casserole. I feel this adds enough extra spice to give it alot of taste. Everyone in my home loves this dish.

This was the first recipe I ever tried from taste of home back in 1994. It has been a family favorite. I can"t begin to tell you the number of times I have made it or the number of recipes I have given out. The only thing I do differently is instead of diced tomatoes, I use crushed. My family does not like big chunks of tomatoes

I made this recipe when it was first published (1994?) and it has been a favorite since that time. On occasion I have used rotini instead of spaghetti, especially when taking for something special.

I made this recipe about two weeks ago and my husband raved about it. It makes quite a bit, so we refridged the remainder, reheated it next day at lunch and took the rest to our pastor and wife who were travelling. Everyone was delighted with it. Tonight, I am making it again for family that is coming to dinner.I did do one extra item for this meal though. I added a CAN of Hunt's spaghetti sauce with the tomatoes and about a 1/4 of a teaspoon of thyme to boot. MMMMM good stuff, this.

I made this Spaghetti for my family earlier this year and they loved it. My daughter isn't wild about traditional spaghetti sauce, so this recipe caught my attention because it only has the canned tomatoes in it. I have since made this for my church Wednesday Night Family Dinner feeding approx 125 people, and have had nothing but great reviews. I did add a few additional ingredients, fresh garlic, salt & pepper, red peppers in addition to the green, and I mix 1 cup 5 Blend Italian cheese with the cheddar cheese.

Tried this at home for a different twist on the normal spaghetti and my family loved it. I did add garlic powder and salt, other than that it was perfect. I also cook for my church weekly, so since it was a hit at home I made it for 125+ church members with received great reviews.
