I used meatballs instead of ground beef. This dish went together in a snap. After boiling the noodles, I just added store bought sauce and thawed meatballs. I topped it all with cream of mushroom soup and lots of cheese. This hearty dish gave me three nights of dinner. My kids were so glad to see the bottom of the casserole by the last day... I really either need to cook less or they need to start eating more. It makes me realize that I was the one cleaning up all of the leftovers before I went gluten-free. Oink Oink.
Baked Spaghetti (adapted from this recipe)
16 ounces spaghetti, cooked al dente and drained
32 ounce jar spaghetti sauce
24 ounces frozen meatballs, thawed in the fridge
1 10 ounce can cream of mushroom soup
4 cups shredded cheese (I used mostly cheddar because that's what I had)
In a very large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, spaghetti sauce and meatballs. Pour in to a greased 9x13 pan or a 3 quart casserole dish. Spread the cream of mushroom soup evenly over the top. Sprinkle all of the cheese over that. Bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees until heated through and the cheese is bubbly.

Looks delish Kristen! Stop over at Comfy Cuisine if you can!
What a great entry for the Crazy Cooking Challenge!
Love the meatballs! YUM!
What a fun idea for refreshing up a spaghetti dinner, my family would love this :)
Baked spaghetti is on of our families favorites - and it always amazes me how it can taste so different and so much better than plain spaghetti!
I had to learn to cook less food when I went gluten free. lol I couldn't believe the amount of leftovers that I used to eat and never realized it. Your spaghetti looks great, I LOVE the cheese on top.
I didn't know about this challenge, but for the last two days we had pasta! I baked one yesterday, a old-old recipe from my grandmother. Kids love it! Great post Kristen!
I have always thought that baked spaghetti would be to dry, but apparently I was very wrong! This looks like lasagna with noodles instead of pasta sheets and that is a good thing. Perfect way to showcase this with that big spoon dipping out some of that goodness. I would eat this for 3 days without a complaint-yum!
Wow, just look at that big bowl of love covered in ooey gooey melted cheese!! Amazing!!
I hope you'll stop by and visit my CCC - Spaghetti Pie

Looks great and sounds like it's easy to make too.
Baked spaghetti is the only way to go for saving and freezing leftovers. We love it and I'm gonna try this one, soon, in the solar oven. I'm #28. Come visit when you can.
That looks terrific. We love it too and for some reason, I rarely make it. Silly. Come visit. We have some great things this week.
Coming over from the Crazy Cooking Challenge and I knew you'd have something delish! That looks so good. I've never made baked spaghetti, will have to try it.
I've always wanted to make baked spaghetti. This looks delicious!
You've just got me realizing that I've never made this! I've made spaghetti and meatballs tons of times and even had baked macaroni but not baked spaghetti! Strange. Thanks for this, Kristen!
That cheesy top looks amazing, I want this dish!
If you haven't already, I'd love for you to check out my CCC entry: Tomato Sauce with Onion & Butter.
