When I was growing up, this was my favorite meal. We had it every year for my birthday. Mother made the sauce from scratch, but I use store-bought spaghetti to save time. Replace the ground beef with sausage for extra spiciness.—Deb Morrison, Skiatook, Oklahoma

Changed a couple of things: I mixed everything together prior to cooking, then topped with a smidgen of extra marinara, then the mozzarella. I also used turkey instead of beef, and whole grain noodles. EXCELLENT dish, three of us cleared out one whole pan! I definitely wouldn't count this as a "quick dish" though, 15 min prep time goes on the assumption that you for some reason keep cooked noodles on hand.

I've been making this for years! The changes I've made are: I use 1-1/2 lbs. gd. beef, extra onion, and I add extra mozz cheese on the top. I also cook this in a 15"x10" dish. I will often turn the oven up to 375 degrees at the end and cook for another 5 minutes or so to better brown the cheesy topping. -Lori in WI.

I would make this again but, would mix the spaghetti sauce with the noodles rather than putting it on top. I also added chopped spinach to it for a little more nutrition.
