Mother Brown's Spaghetti Casserole

"My mom often brought this casserole to church suppers and it was very popular! But you don't have to be going to a church supper to try it! You can try it anytime! It's a different taste for spaghetti that you may want to investigate! When I asked my mom for the recipe on the phone, my dad piped up in the background that he likes it with peppers, so feel free to add whatever you may like to this dish from my childhood!"

  1. This isn't bad, but it was too salty for me.
     
  2. It sounds so simple- but tastes so good! My husband thought I had used BBQ sauce. I added garlic to the onion, and cooked the onion and garlic with the hamburger. Way good!
     
  3. This is a simple and flavorful dish! I made this for the Silent Cricket Cookathon, and it was enjoyed by my whole family. I used ground turkey in place of the beef, but other than than I followed the directions exactly, and it was done in about 50 minutes. I will definitely be making this again.
     
  4. Something you can pull together in a hurry for dinner. Also a very cost-effective dinner.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

(As many of you know Silent Cricket passed away on Feb. 29. Since she loved Recipezaar so much and so many on Recipezaar have shown their love for her, and have enjoyed her recipes, her personal information will remain here indefinitely just as she wrote it. Her lines at the end of this section sound somewhat prophetic as the last chapter of her earthly existence has been written.) Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
