My mom still has the newspaper cut out passed down to her from her nanna. She ate this growing up, she fed it to me growing up, and now I feed it to my husband. Its simple and tasty. Thanks for sharing it. We use elbow noodles instead of spaghetti, and top it with LOADS of cheese before baking. Then the cheese gets crispy and we all fight over it. :D -
This is one of my husbands favorite recipes. It also freezes very well and makes alot. This is something I make often when preparing a meal to bring over to someone. -
My Mother-in-law gave me her Better Home & Gardens cookbook from the WWII war years. This recipe is a great reminder. Thanks.
