Kid-Pleasing Spaghetti image

I wish I could claim credit for this recipe...but I've only helped make it for Farm Bureau suppers. With a cheese sauce and beef spaghetti layers, it has real kid appeal.-Vera Chalfant, Parker City, Indiana

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I had to tone down the heat by adding some cream to the sauce.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches to it. I usually add some sautéed mushrooms and onions to the sauce.

The sauce was a bit too watery for my liking. I had to simmer it for longer to reduce the liquid.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices and herbs to make it more flavorful.
