Johnny Marzetti Casserole Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pork Recipes. (Johnny Marzetti Casserole Recipe). Kids love this buffet-ready casserole dish. My mother-in-law used to make a simpler version of this for my husband when he was growing up. This version pushes the flavor profile a bit. I prefer to have this dish sit overnight before baking as the flavors improve and the pasta absorbs some of the sauce so the consistency is just right.
