Baked Spaghetti
Flavors Used:
Tired of the same old spaghetti? How about a yummy Dan-O’s style baked spaghetti instead? You get some of your favorite ingredients from spaghetti and then some, all wrapped up in one Dan-good casserole.
The Best Part of Baked Spaghetti
My favorite part of this baked spaghetti is the tasty layer of cheese. It’s like if spaghetti meets lasagna. The flavor is amazing and it’s so filling too.
One Dantastic Bite
The next best thing is the crispy top layer. When it's baked just right you get a perfect browned top layer that just adds the perfect level of consistency. What’s really mind-blowing is if you can get everything in one bite: the crispy top layer with some caramelized cheese, the noodles, the sauce, the ground beef, and the cheesy middle layer. That’s one Dantastic bite.
