A Budget-Friendly Family Favorite Favorite

Growing up, my family always swore that our baked spaghetti was a little bit different, claiming, "It's a Mideast thing!"But, here's the thing every family gathering had someone passionately announcing that our baked spaghetti recipe was a nod to our, "roots" adding a sense of mystery.
My cousin Renita would bring out the casserole dish like a family heirloom, and everyone would start talking about the "authentic" flavors as if this were some long-lost secret. I remember my sister insisting, " You won't find this flavor anywhere else in the world!"
Somehow, this family dish itself is a legend; Everyone gets their slice, loading it up with the melted shredded cheese, making sure it's perfect, and joking about our ritual. So, to you, It's just baked spaghetti, but for us, it's family magic wrapped in melted cheese with a little sprinkle of this and that.
