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!

I started making this the other day but found out that I didn't have any tomato sauce. I added a can of sloppy joe sauce instead and used a mexican blend shredded cheese. After it was all put together, I refrigerated it and the babysitter heated it up the next day. My stepson LOVED it so much, his mom called and asked for the recipe. Thank you for a very kid friendly meal!

Great family-friendly meal! I made this for "Freeze-It Tag," so froze the unbaked casserole, defrosted, then baked covered at 350 till hot throughout. Uncovered and finished baking at 425. Everyone ate and enjoyed it, so I plan on keeping a few pans in my freezer for busy weeknight meals. Thanks, Kim!

GOSH this was good! We had 1 1/2 lbs. hamburger so we used 2 tsp. chili powder and 1 tsp. @ cumin and oregano. We used the amount given for s & p and it was perfect. We used 3 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce, and upped the cheese to 2 cups, just cuz we LOVE cheese! We did add mushrooms, too, but that was just another personal preferance. This is a really good recipe, and I would recommend it to everyone to try! TY very much Kim, recipes like this are exactly what we really need right now, and this was just WONDERFUL!!

I'll be darned. This was very good, Kim. It took me back to my school cafeteria. The only thing missing was a little carton of milk and a "spork" and napkin wrapped in plastic. Bf Dugan commented, "this is surprisingly good." ??? Not sure what he meant... but I know him and if he says anything favorable about any recipe he really enjoyed it. He ate a fourth of the 9x13 pan all by himself and his son ate another third. I am eating the rest. SO it doesn't serve six but rather, three. Good job and good recipe. The egg and the milk mixed with the noodles made them set up very nicely. The dish wouldn't be the same without that step and I took another reviewer's advice and boiled my spaghetti with salt water and used Cookgirl's suggestion and broke my noodles into fourths. Dugan is already asleep in his La-Z-Boy snoring contently. Thanks, dear!

Awesome was the verdict by my 13 year old grandson - and the rest of us agreed! I followed the recipe exactly (and other than adding mushrooms when the kids aren't around), I'll do so again. Thanx kim!

This was really good. I omitted the bell pepper, doubled the spices, and used a 26 can of spaghetti sauce instead of the tomato sauce. It was a hit, and will go into rotation here. Thanks!

This was so easy to make and everyone liked the recipe. I made it exactly as written with the addition of some sliced mushrooms. I would of preferred a stronger Oregano flavor and maybe a little basil added to it. I will definitely make it again. Thank you.

I just made this. It is for dinner during the week, but my dh and I couldn't resist so we had a little for lunch. It's wonderful. I did change it a little. I tripled the cheese (we're cheese lovers) and I added more chili powder and cumin. After adding the milk and egg, I also mixed the sauce and hamburger mixture to the pasta, then layered the mixture, then cheese, pasta mixture and cheese again. This is definitely a keeper. Loved it!!
