This Cheesy Sloppy Jo Noodle Bake recipe has been in my recipe box for years. It’s SO flavorful, the whole family devours it. It’s also got sour cream and cream cheese in there, so really, how could it go wrong?! Plus I love recipes that you can make ahead and then just throw into the oven later. Once you assemble the ingredients, putting it together is pretty simple, too.

This baked spaghetti pie is a tasty make-ahead meal. I feel rich when I have extra pans of food in our freezer.
