This cheesy baked spaghetti is the easy to make, crowd pleasing meal that you are going go love. I think even more than my kids.
I made this for dinner the other night for my sister and brother in law and everyone absolutely loved it. Myself included!
It’s cheesy, creamy and out of this world delicious. It’s a true comfort food recipe in every sense.
Not to mention, it couldn’t be easier to make, too. It’s the perfect meal to make for a busy weekday dinner.
We usually make this in the cooler months when my family is craving something warm and comforting.
It’s very similar to a spaghetti style Mac and Cheese. That right there is probably all I need to say to convince you that this is something that you need to try.
The adults will love it, the kids will love it and everyone will be going back for second’s.
I really hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.
Cheesy Baked Spaghetti Variations
I like this baked spaghetti recipe made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.
- Pasta-Any kind of long pasta like linguine, spaghetti or angel hair would be ok to use here.
- Protein- Feel free to add some cooked at cubed chicken into the Velveeta mixture for some added protein.
