“We got this recipe from a restaurant cook who lived in the duplex beside my mother-in-law," recalls Monika Rahn of Dillsburg, Pennsylvania. "It was one of his favorites. It’s easy to make, tastes just great and freezes well. Both my mother-in-law and her neighbor are gone now, but this recipe always brings back happy memories!”

Awesome dish!! Everyone in the family loved it, and the kids don't even like italian. I will definitely make this again.

My husband loves this casserole! I like that I can make a meal and have a second casserole to freeze! Sometimes I substitute Hunt's Chunky Vegetable Pasta Sauce for the spaghetti sauce as my husband prefers it made using the pasta sauce. (I also like the recipe but can't eat much of it due to having GERD.)
