We LOVED this easy Baked Spaghetti Casserole with Meatballs!  The noodles are tossed up with a cheesy sauce and then topped with homemade meatballs and pasta sauce! This is a great meal for a cold night, it makes the perfect comfort food!! Our family has always loved spaghetti casserole but once I decided to throw in some meatballs, I don’t think I’ll have it any other way from now on!

If you are in a rush, you can use frozen (defrosted and cooked) meatballs but it really is worth it to make them fresh! This casserole is even better served the next day so if you have leftovers, don’t throw them out! You’ll thank me for that later.
