There are so many amazing things about this baked spaghetti, but the best would probably have to be the melted cheese on top. I think that the dash of Worsteshire is really promising, too. It gives the casserole a bit of a tangy twist and I like that. You can use any kind of shredded cheese that you have on hand. I used Colby Jack and it turned out really wonderful. That’s the beauty of casseroles you can use what you got in the pantry ?
Here’s what my friends over at Group Recipes had to say about that:
This recipe comes from “Victorian Sampler” after being passed on to Beatrice C. Altazin’s family in “A Collection of Our Treasured Family Recipes” and then posted in the local Baton Rouge newspaper last year. I made a few minor changes and here it is. It is worth the time it takes to make.
I think this recipe tastes amazing so whatever minor changes you made, I love them!
