Tasty Tuesday: Husband's Delight

Don't let the name fool you, this recipe is every one's delight. My mom used to make this all the time when we were kids and I had kind of forgotten about it until this week. I decided that I would make some sort of casserole on Sunday for dinner so we could freeze half of it to eat off at a later date. After going through my recipes I found this one and knew I had to make it. It was honestly even better than I remembered (and was even better heated up on day 2). It reminds me a lot of a baked spaghetti but more savory than the sweetness you sometimes get with baked spaghetti. I also used all low fat ingredients and it didn't hinder the taste one bit. I just divided everything in half and made 2 smaller square pans and wrapped one up and stuck it in the freezer... 4 nights worth of meals for about 30 minutes of cook time, I'll take it!
