I recently made Baked Spaghetti for the family, and it turned out to be a huge hit. One slice of the baked spaghetti is so filling since there are so many layers of meat, cheese, and noodles.
The next time I made it, I decided to split the recipe in half, so instead of one thick multi-layered pan of baked spaghetti, I baked two pans of baked spaghetti with less layers, and froze one for later.
This recipe will definitely be cooked up a lot in my kitchen this year!
