How to Make Easy Creamy Spaghetti Casserole in an Oven
Aunt Lou here.
I loved this recipe when I made it in a crock pot, and so did my family. So, I knew that the oven version of this Easy Creamy Spaghetti Casserole would be a hit just like the crock pot version. This recipe is a delectable twist on your normal spaghetti casserole. It puts me in the mind of hybrid of a lasagna and a spaghetti casserole. This wonderful twist comes from the layer with a cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder and Italian seasoning mixture. This layer blends perfectly with the seasonings in the Italian style meatballs and spaghetti sauce. This recipe is definitely comfort food and a go to recipe in my house. I hope you and your loved ones enjoy it just as much as we do.
