Don Meredith's Casserole

Usually it's the picture or ingredients in a recipe that draw me in. With this one it was the name, Don Meredith Casserole. I remember Dandy Don as the colorful football commentator in the 70's.

If you're looking for a recipe that puts a new twist on spaghetti, give this one a try. It's easy to put together and makes a great weeknight supper.

  10. I loved Dandy Don! He was a fun personality against Howard Cosell! Fun blast from the past. Didn't he hawk Iced tea or something, too? I didn't know he had a casserole, it looks so good!
