Thrown Together Baked Spaghetti Casserole is a like a supreme pizza combined in a casserole. This recipe is perfect for a large crowd!
Are you looking for a simple spaghetti casserole that tastes great, and is packed full of flavor? Sometimes casseroles can be pretty dull, and they seem to lack a lot of great flavor.
Thrown Together Baked Spaghetti Casserole reminds me of a supreme pizza that got tossed into a bowl of pasta. What creates all of the flavor? Ground beef, onions, olives, bell pepper, and mushrooms make this casserole taste amazing. This casserole gets topped with both Cheddar cheese and Mozzarella cheese.

Looking to feed a lot of mouths? Maybe you have a house full of teenage boys, this recipe is perfect for you! This recipe makes up 2 13 x 9-inch pans of pasta! You could serve this dish from a large crockpot if desired. You can mix everything together, and then top with cheese, and place the thermostat on high until the cheese melts, and you can serve up a crowd of people quickly and easily.
Dinner done in minutes!
Best of all this filling dish takes no time at all to make. While the pasta is cooking you can make the filling, and about the time the pasta is done cooking, you will be ready to mix it all together. You simply will mix everything together, top with cheese, and then toss this in the oven so the cheese will melt. If you have leftover spaghetti this recipe would be the perfect way to use the leftover pasta!
