This cheesy baked spaghetti is perfect for any night of the week.
This baked spaghetti with sausage is a twist on the classic meatball and spaghetti recipe that everyone loves.
Unfortunately, my family eats spaghetti at least once or twice a week, which I get tired of eating.
Though, recently we decided to mix things up and make our spaghetti in a casserole dish.
Of course, it had layers of parmesan and mozzarella cheese and Johnsonville Italian Mild Sausage.
I’m happy to report the spaghetti casserole was a huge hit with my entire family and we had enough leftovers for lunch the next day!
Personally, cheesy baked spaghetti is now my NEW favorite way to eat spaghetti.
If you rather use ground meat, pepperoni, or mini meatballs instead of the sausage you can.

Should I cut the sausage? I have them in casings.
Kim Seghers says
Hello Gregory, yes you should take the uncooked meat out the casing to use it for the recipe if that’s all you have.
Greg says
Just made it and we cannot stop eating it. Plus, it makes a boatload of food and these types of dishes freeze and reheat great.
We did add italian seasoning and red pepper flakes to the onions mixture as well as 8 oz of mushrooms.. Otherwise exactly as written.
Just wonderful. A great Thursday night meal surprise. There are a lot of Pinterest recipes that fail – this isn’t one of them.
Oh, we broke the Spaghetti in half.. easier to eat in casserole form.
Cheers,
Greg and Megan.

This made my night Greg and Megan! So happy you liked the recipe. Thank you for sharing what you added. I’ll have to try adding mushrooms, and Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes next time I make this casserole. My youngest son usually puts red pepper flakes in almost everything he eats. So he’ll love that next time. Thank you for the wonderful feedback! Kim
