Instructions

8. Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this delicious and comforting Cheddar Bay Spaghetti Casserole!

Notes

Cook the spaghetti noodles until they’re just shy of al dente, as they’ll continue to cook in the oven.

Use lean ground beef to prevent the casserole from becoming too greasy.

For a creamier cheese mixture, consider adding an extra 1/4 cup of milk to the ricotta.

If you’re looking to make this dish gluten-free, substitute the spaghetti noodles with your favorite gluten-free pasta, and use a gluten-free biscuit mix for the topping.

To make it low-carb, replace the spaghetti with zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash, and use a low-carb biscuit mix or top it with a cheesy cauliflower topping.
