This delicious Spaghetti Pie is tossed in 4 cheeses and a quick and easy homemade meat sauce. Then you pack it in a pie plate and bake for 20 minutes. When you serve this up your family will be in awe! My kids have declared it their new favorite 
It’s a rare occasion when my kids ask for seconds, and yep, they did with this one. I mean, most kids love spaghetti, but hardly do they ever ask for seconds. I’m sure your family will love this one, too!
