Awesome and Easy Spaghetti Casserole created by Parsley

This is a great alternative to Spaghetti! It also freezes and is perfect for large gatherings. A vegetarian option is to omit the meat and use spinach instead.

I love fixing a meal like this early in the week so that my fiance and I have lunches to take to work for a couple days. This was very simple to make, and pretty inexpensive. I seasoned the beef with onion powder and cajun seasoning, and used about 4 cloves garlic instead of just 1. For the shredded cheese on top, I only used about 1 3/4 cups. Will make again, especially when feeding picky friends.

Wonderful! It was a hit with the kids. I think they really liked the sweetness of the tomato sauce. I used reduced-fat sour cream and cream cheese and the noodle mixture was still nice and creamy. This would make a great potluck meal. Thanx for posting!
