Looking for the ultimate comfort food? The kind that tastes so amazing that you can’t stop thinking about it? You have to make this Million Dollar Spaghetti and Meatballs casserole. You will not regret it!
I made this for my thirteen year-old’s birthday and it was a HUGE hit. There was only one piece left, and it didn’t make it past the next day. I think my daughter ate it for breakfast, it is that good!
Most Million Dollar Spaghetti recipes use meat sauce, but my daughter loves meatballs, so I thought I would share my take on this delicious dish.
This is an easy dish to make, basically just making layers. Here are some photos of the building of it!
