Southwestern Baked Spaghetti


Yes, another Baked Spaghetti recipe. I actually made this one awhile ago though...about a month before the Baked Spasanga (which I must say, was awesome).

While this version isn't quite as amazing as the spasanga, it's much quicker and easier to prepare...a great dinner for any day of the week. And it makes really good leftovers, which is something I will now be paying attention to since I have to pack a lunch for Jesse every day (his last school provided hot lunches each day...I already miss it).

Ok guys, have a great rest of your day and I'll see you Thursday. Since Heath is still on leave and Wednesday's are Jesse's off day, we're heading up to Mass for The Big E tomorrow. I'm so excited...fried food heaven, here I come!!!
