With a husband and two growing boys at home, my go-to recipes are usually hearty and served in a large baking dish. That way, we have plenty for seconds and, hopefully, leftovers.
Baked spaghetti has been a favorite in the Smith house for years. The boys love the creamy cheese, and I love that it’s easy to make.
Looking for a new way to serve up your spaghetti? Give this one a try!

Cheesy Baked Spaghetti
This cheesy baked spaghetti recipe is a favorite weeknight quick and easy recipe that’s a go-to dinner at our house. One of our easy casserole recipes you’ll love!
Just a note:
For this recipe, we like to use Ragu Super Chunky Mushroom. It’s chunky with lots of great flavor. But you can make your own spaghetti sauce or use your own store-bought favorite.
We also like angel hair pasta for this dish, because of its texture and how well the sauce flavors it. But, again, feel free to use other pasta varieties. The pasta is cooked before baking, so that choice is totally up to the cook!

Here’s How To Make A Casserole Out of Anything
Here’s how I have tweaked the basic spaghetti dish to make mine.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
- 2 jars of spaghetti sauce
- 2 pounds of ground beef, browned and drained
- 16 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked and drained
- 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
I love this dish because it’s one of those one dish comfort food recipes. All you need is a few basic ingredients to throw together for a family favorite.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Make sure you have your pasta already cooked and drained as well.Then start working on all of the other ingredients.
In a large skillet, brown ground beef with onion and green peppers, and drain. Then you mix the browned ground beef, prepared pasta, and spaghetti sauce in large bowl.
First, place half of the spaghetti mixture in a greased 13 x 9 baking dish. Then cover it with 1 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese. After that, just repeat these layers.
In a small bowl, combine the mushroom soup and water, and mix until smooth and cover the top of your spaghetti layers with the soup. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the dish is heated completely through.
