Meaty Pasta Casseroles image

I love this recipe because it makes two hearty casseroles. Every time I make it I add a little something different, such as extra garlic, to give it an added boost of flavor. -Debra Butcher, Decatur, Indiana

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it was still very flavorful. I also added a can of diced tomatoes to the sauce, which gave it a nice tang.
