Hello! In the kitchen with Sharon is Patricia Nicholes with her Million Dollar Spaghetti Casserole. Wow this is an amazing recipe.
I am making this — another one dish and easy recipe. Add a salad and maybe Garlic bread or just bread and butter and some applesauce and you will have a great meal. I love this recipe. Thank you so much Patricia.
