Easy Baked Spaghetti Pie Recipe
Our entire family loves spaghetti and we love Easy Spaghetti Pie Recipe even more. Layers of meat and cheese blended with melted cheese turn plain spaghetti into something amazing.
It’s the perfect lazy day recipe that is sure to be a hit with your family. You can use store bought sauce but we love this Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce Recipe.
I make a big batch and keep some in the freezer for recipes like this. We even have an Instant Pot Spaghetti Sauce Recipe.
Whatever you use, this recipe will be so yummy. Throw in a simple side salad and dinner is ready!
If you have a few extra minutes, make some of these delicious Garlic Bread Cheese Sticks to serve with the Spaghetti Pie. They are perfect to dip into the sauce and get every last drop of the tasty sauce.
Your family will love Easy Spaghetti Pie Casserole!
It really is so simple and one of our favorite meals.
How do you make a spaghetti pie?
I prefer to cook my spaghetti pic in a 9 x 13 baking dish instead of pie pans or a pie plate. However, use what you prefer the most.
The ones with the lid are really handy if you are taking this dish somewhere.
Baked Spaghetti Pie is so easy to adapt!
Make this your own and feel free to add what you like. Sometimes, we even use ground turkey instead of ground beef.
I like to saute onion and green pepper with the ground beef. If I chop them really small, I can sneak them in without the kids knowing. 🙂
I think it gives the ground beef really good flavor. I have been known to sneak in carrots into the mixture too and they get extra veggies and don’t know it.
I use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop onions. If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them.
They are such a time saver and you can get the veggies really fine if you have kids like mine.
I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.
This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.
Learn and how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen!
Try Baked Spaghetti Pie with ricotta or Baked Spaghetti Pie with cottage cheese.
This recipe calls for ricotta cheese but cottage cheese is just as good. I have even mixed them together.
Sometimes, I just use what is in the fridge or on sale that week. They are both really good so use what you like the best.
I have even used cream cheese before. Yum!

Baked Spaghetti Pie Casserole is freezer friendly!
I use the disposable pans for the one I am freezing. It helps so much on those busy nights.
We have saved a ton of money by skipping take out and grabbing one of these delicious casseroles in the freezer. Plus, it tastes so much better.
It really does not take any longer to make two when you are making this recipe. I try to always double the recipe and freeze one for our family.
If you are making this for the freezer, do not bake in the oven. Prepare the casserole. Then allow to cool.
Cover and freeze. To reheat: allow to thaw overnight in fridge. Then bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes, covered.
