So for dinner tonight we had Baked Spaghetti which is something my grandmother always used to make for us when we were little. She told me that she had gotten the recipe from her mother-in-law, but wasn’t sure where she got the recipe from (if it was from scratch or from somewhere – so this may not be an original, I don’t really know). Anyway, as always it was delicious and I wanted to share with everyone the recipe so it can be enjoyed by whoever else wants to try it out. Disclosure: I am by no means a food blogger or a good photographer. I took pictures from my phone and they do not do the spaghetti justice, but I wanted to give a visual.
Gran’s Baked Spaghetti
Yields 8-10 servings
Ingredients:
1 med yellow onion, finely chopped
3 stalks of celery, finely chopped
1 box of spaghetti
8-10 oz of mild shredded cheddar cheese (depends on how cheesy you want it)
2 cans Campbell’s tomato soup
Directions: Preheat oven to 350. Cook the spaghetti as directed, al dente.
In a casserole dish, pour 1/4 can of tomato soup and spread it all over the bottom of the dish. Grab a couple of spoonful’s of spaghetti and spread it out over the tomato soup, sprinkle a handful of cheese over top, and then sprinkle a handful of onions and celery.
Repeat this process, layering all of the ingredients until they are gone.
Put the spaghetti into the oven for approx. 20-30 minutes until cheese is melted through and bubbling.
Enjoy with your favorite bread, or a salad! When I make this dish there is always enough to have for lunch the next day and it is always just as amazing (if not more amazing) the second day.
So hopefully at least one person gets to try this recipe that is near and dear to my heart and it becomes one of their favorite recipes. Happy eating!
