Southwestern Baked Spaghetti

Recipe #87085 | 40 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Kim D.

This is an easy, yet very tasty spaghetti casserole, which reminds me of the spaghetti they used to serve us in elementary school. I loved their spaghetti! I normally only bought my lunch, but not on spaghetti day!

    Wow, this was awesome. I added mushrooms,no green pepper, chopped garlic, and a whole lot of mexican chili spice because we love chili powder. It came out sooooo delicious. we were eating leftovers for 3 meals (it's just me and my hubby) Thanks for this recipe!!

    This was very good. My family loved it and ate every last morsel of it. I upped the sauce ingredients by 1/2 more and I added mushrooms and olives. I also added cheese to the cooked spaghetti. Thanks for sharing this.

    Hooray, another keeper! This was a big hit with the family, and so easy to put together. I used skim milk and egg sub, and also left out the green pepper as the DDs don't care for it. Also subbed 1 T. onion powder for the onion, as no chunky things are allowed! Because I assembled this in the morning it was cold when I was ready to bake. I put it in a 350 oven for about 30 minutes (covered with foil), then uncovered and raised heat to 425 for a few minutes. This one goes in the permanent recipe file!

    I must say this is absolutely the best baked spaghetti I've ever tasted! As the first reviewer did, I too added a can of sliced mushrooms and also sliced olives, and a little fresh basil. My family loved it and I will definitely be making this again!
