A hearty casserole that is inexpensive and simple to make is Million Dollar Spaghetti Casserole. Feeding a family or a large group of people is easy and delicious with this casserole! One of my all-time favorite casseroles is Million Dollar Spaghetti, made according to this recipe. Essentially, it is a straightforward fusion of lasagna and baked spaghetti. (I know, doesn’t it sound delicious?)
