Spaghetti Casserole

I know this isn't the best picture but I promise this is really good. You only need about half of the sauce that this recipe calls for. So instead of halving it, I just use half of the sauce for this recipe and then freeze the rest. Then I can either make spaghetti, lasagna, or another batch of this.
