I actually created this recipe out of desperation. My son Charlie was a picky eater when he was young, so I put together some of the things he likes. To this day, he says it's his favorite dish!

This is such a nice change from traditional spaghetti with marinara sauce! I mistakenly added 2 cups of cheddar to the casserole while mixing all of the ingredients together, so I added about a cup of sour cream to keep it creamy... AMAZING! Even better than the original recipe! Definately worth a try.

It was ok. I even added chopped onions to add more flavor, but it was still just bland.

Been making this for years and family loves it. I make w/ 2 cans of soup, usually cream of chicken w/ herb and cream of mushroom, use egg noodles instead of spaghetti, and I add a box of frozen chopped broccoli to the noodle/chix mixture before baking. We never have leftovers of this dish.

Made this recipe with elbow macaroni and habenero cheddar cheese. It was okay but nothing special.

I made this tonight and it was soooo good and soooo easy! I added some roasted red bell peppers since I didn't have pimentos. I have never made anything with spaghetti noodles other than spaghetti :-) This is certainly a keeper!!

i made this right the first time the changed it a little. spaghetti noodles have to be used. and it needs a little garlic powder. but otherwise it is creamy and dreamy- total comfort food!
