Kroger Bargain Recipe of the week- Spaghetti Bake !!

Bargain Meal of the Week

I am always looking for recipes that are both kid friendly and easy! This one looks like a winner. Since my family will only eat about 1/3 of this I will half it and put the rest in the freezer! That reduces the costs by half which worked for me!. (Not to mention that is another night that big mama does not have to cook!!) Happy Eatin Y'all!!

I will not expense spices/oils since most of us have them on hand. W/C means with coupon. To see the deals at Kroger this week check them out here.
