Kid-Pleasing Spaghetti Recipe

100% would make again

I wish I could claim credit for this recipe...but I've only helped make it for Farm Bureau suppers. With a cheese sauce and beef spaghetti layers, it has real kid appeal.—Vera Chalfant, Parker City, Indiana

Prep: 35 min. Bake: 30 min.

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2-1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
8 ounces spaghetti, cooked and drained
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups milk
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in spaghetti; set aside.
In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour and salt until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in 3/4 cup cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese until melted.
Place half of the spaghetti mixture in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Top with cheese sauce and the remaining spaghetti mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 10 servings.
