Spaghetti Lasagna Casserole Recipe

I didn’t write out my monthly meal plan for May! <gasp> When I don’t menu plan dinner time can be a bit dicey and we end up eating out much more than usual. This month was no exception but, since it is my birthday month, I had a lot of FREE meal/dessert/appetizer coupons in my email box and we used a lot of them. Not having a meal plan I usually end up being creative, last minute, with the items I have on hand. That is how Spaghetti Lasagna Casserole was created.

I had leftover cream cheese from all of my cheesecake making as of late. Add to that some pasta, tomatoes, sour cream, cheese, and spices and voila, dinner is served. It really is that easy to whip up this pasta casserole.
