  • Prep: 45 min. Bake: 40 min.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound uncooked spaghetti, broken into 3-inch pieces
  • 4 pounds ground beef
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 1 large green pepper, chopped
  • 4 cups milk
  • 4 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
  • 2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
  • 4 cups (16 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

  • Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and place in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes; set aside.
  • In two Dutch ovens or large kettles, cook the beef, onions and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. To each pot, add 2 cups of milk, two cans of tomato soup, one can of mushroom soup and 1 cup of cheese. Bring to a boil.
  • Spoon over spaghetti (spaghetti will absorb liquid during baking). Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly and top is lightly browned. Yield: 2 casseroles (12 servings each).

My daughter won't eat traditional spaghetti so I tried this recipe. The whole family loves it. I did use less ground beef than the recipe calls for. I will make this again!

Have tried this recipe and love it, the soup inside thickens as it cooks and then once done it thickens as it sits. It is a great recipe and easily divided in half as I don't always need two dishes. It is my favorite baked spaghetti recipe. Hope you like it!

I actually submitted a very similar recipe...with only 1.5 pounds of ground beef and without the milk, otherwise almost exactly the same. I'd prefer it my way, but some people like a lot of meat. The version I use is not dry at all, I can't imagine adding milk to it.

Re: Cheesy Spaghetti Bake

Has anyone tried this recipe? I myself would cut back on the ground beef, but I'm also thinking there is too much liquid and it would be "soupy." Would like to try it, but don't want to be left with soup. If you've tried this, please reply.

I dont know about you, but this sounds very tasty, and there is nothing wrong with a lot of beef in food. Depends on how anyone likes it.

when ever any one makes a meat sauce you don't just need to add meat. Try adding peppers, celery, even Kidney beans. this will keep the meat from being bored and your taste budds dancing wiht flavor.

Is this for real!4 pounds beef & 1 pound pasta,seems like to much beef. Also I don't think anyone would expect just beef with a couple noodles in it. Ratio is way off.
