This easy baked spaghetti casserole is a family favorite that is easy to prepare!  To make this recipe extra quick and easy, I doctor up a jarred sauce with lean beef and seasoning but if you have the time, it’s definitely worth it to make a homemade sauce!

One great thing about this recipe is that you can add whatever you like, if you don’t like green pepper, skip it and add diced mushrooms or zucchini.  I personally add 32 oz of pasta sauce to this recipe because I like my pasta quite saucy…  you can easily adjust this to your liking though and add more or less sauce.  Serve this with a side salad and garlic toast for an easy meal.  This easy casserole is great leftover and freezes perfectly!
