Steve's Notes:

This is a great recipe for feeding a lot of folks, or for feeding a few and having left-overs. The celery gives some crunch, and the bread crumbs and cheese browned on top adds a ton of flavor. Enjoy!!

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

This is a different spin on the traditional chicken casserole... and it's really tasty. When I made it for the first time I kept going back and eating the leftovers for a snack! This recipe is terrific if you're looking to feed a hungry crowd - Pair it up with a crisp salad and you've got one satisfying meal.

Directions

Preheat oven 425.

Cook spaghetti in boiling water according to directions.

Dice onion, pepper and celery. Then saute in butter.

do you have to add the bell pepper? they don't do well for me.

Not at all - pepper is purely optional. And some folks would prefer to leave out celery.

My husband LOVES this!! And as a working mom, the leftovers are even better. I've even told my mom/dad about this one. It's quick and tasty. I use frozen green bell peppers, as fresh don't agree with me. Thanks for contributing Steve !! Husband has informed me this one was a keeper, and have cooked it twice now.

Carol, we love recipes like this because of the leftovers. I hear you. In some ways, I think the leftovers even taste better. Keep in mind that you can also freeze the left-overs in meal-sized portions.
