Description

This Spaghetti Creole casserole is the ultimate comfort food for busy weeknights. It combines tender spaghetti with a rich, savory sauce made from browned ground beef, onions, and green peppers. The secret lies in the blend of tomato and cream of mushroom soups, which creates a luxurious, velvety texture that coats every noodle. Baked until bubbly and golden, the top layer of melted cheese adds a delightful crunch and creamy finish. This dish is incredibly versatile, easy to assemble with pantry staples, and perfect for feeding a crowd or freezing for later. It delivers hearty, home-style satisfaction with every bite, making it a family favorite that brings warmth and flavor to your dinner table without requiring gourmet skills or hard-to-find ingredients.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente; drain well.
  3. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles.
  4. Add the chopped onion and green pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir in the tomato soup, cream of mushroom soup, water, and half of the shredded cheese.
  6. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 2 minutes.
  7. In a 2-quart baking dish, combine the cooked spaghetti and the meat sauce, mixing well.
  8. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
  9. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbly.
