How to Make Easy Spaghetti Meatball Bake in an Oven

Aunt Lou here.

Any kind of spaghetti is a big hit around here. I have a very picky eater in my home, and spaghetti is one of her all time favorite meals. So, when I make Crock Pot Spaghetti Meatball Bake, everyone in my home is happy. Recently, I tried making this same recipe in an oven, and now you have this Easy Spaghetti Meatball Bake. It is just as delicious from the oven as it is from my crock pot.

This casserole recipe is not only easy to throw together; it also cooks up fast. Once your thin spaghetti is done, you can have it in the oven in just a few minutes. After that, you only have to wait about 20 minutes until you can pull your wonderful casserole out of the oven. That makes it perfect for dinner on a chaotic night. As an added bonus, the flavor of this recipe is sure to be a hit. When a dinner is easy for me to make and the people I serve it to absolutely love it, I am a happy camper.
