My Infamous Baked Spaghetti

I have had a LOT of people asking me lately for my baked spaghetti recipe, so here ya go!

Here are the things you shall need:






Brown your turkey with garlic (we prefer quite a bit).  OPTIONAL - I add about 1/2 a teaspoon of coconut oil to this process since the turkey is so lean - it gives GREAT flavor.  

When the turkey is done, add both cans of soup to your skillet and combine.  At this point, I turn the heat off and let it sit a while.  

Boil your noodles according to directions.  

In a  9 X 11 dish (greased lightly with coconut oil), layer noodles, meat sauce, and cheese.  This will only end up being two layers.  You will end up with this:




 Cover it with foil.  

Cook on 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  The last five minutes of baking I remove the foil and, if I have it on hand, put Parmesan cheese on top and bake it off.

This is a really simple dish that your family will LOVE.  For my dairy-free friends, I honestly haven't found a dairy free cheese that will do this justice.  And for my friends concerned about the sodium in the Campbells Soup, well then consider this a "splurge" meal.   You won't regret it.

TIP:  If I have the time I like to make this the day before and put it in the fridge overnight.


Enjoy!
