Made my baked spaghetti today..

Put some aside for tonight and some in the freezer. I seem to want to do that in the fall. I don't think I can lift it any longer though. It was in a 13" x 9" and so heavy. My back wasn't real happy with that. So next time, I'll do it another way. We can live with that.

That reminded me of a spaghetti casserole my mother made when we were little, but with canned tomato soup.  I loved it and just made it for tonight.  She used only a few ingredients so we will see how it tastes.

Ours had tomato soup, cream of mushroom soup, we added due to our preferences, small can of mushrooms and the chili peppers, (mild). Had about 1 T. of chili powder in it too. Anyway, with 16oz of spag., it gets pretty heavy to lift. LOL

Re: Made my baked spaghetti today..

I have a Fiesta 9x13 baking pan and depending on what I'm baking it can get mighty heavy!

 

One thought is that if you're going to freeze, use 2 8x8 disposible aluminum baking pans from the grocer or WM. You can serve 1 for dinner and freeze the other. Should be lighter and one will be freezer ready or you can remove from the pan, cut into servings and freeze in a L&L or other freezer container.

 

I'm a big fan of leftovers in the fall & winter, too. I usually brown bag to work in bad weather.

Re: Made my baked spaghetti today..

Yesterday, I made a spaghetti pie in a casserole dish and there is so much that I decided to freeze some of it.  Not sure how the cottage cheese will hold up in the freezing process.
