Very easy to make and was nice and cheesey. My gut feeling when I read the recipe was that 16oz of spaghetti sauce wasn't near enough, so I used 30 oz. I'm very glad that I did because I had just enough to make the last layer. I probably would use an additional 16 on top of that when I make this again. Otherwise, this was great. Thanx for a new crockpot recipe!
