This is the recipe my daughters and I often make for new parents when they come home from the hospital. With its creamy spaghetti filling and melted cheese topping, this casserole holds a nice cut and comforts hungry tummies. —Fancheon Resler, Bluffton, Indiana

Tip

Cheddar Tip

Select sharp cheddar when using packaged shredded cheese from recipes that you’d like to have a bolder flavor. If you will be shredding cheese at home from bulk cheddar, you can choose from mild, medium, sharp and extra sharp.

Will make again...next time I might even add some extra veggies to the mix like some chopped broccoli or cauliflour. I also used bow tie pasta instead which turned out fine. I would also make 4 pans since half the pan was just enough to feed the 5 of us.

We substituted small shell pasta for the spaghetti, and california blend for the peppers and onions - perfect!

Made great freezer meals with a nice big batch. I felt that it lacked a little flavor- maybe add just a bit more salt and pepper.

This recipe has a delicious flavor and is creamy and comforting. I used mini rotini pasta instead of spaghetti and I used 8x8 pans instead of 11x7 pans. Using the smaller pans resulted in 3 casseroles. My husband loved it! This one will be a regular.
