There are two camps when it comes to chili. Rice or Spaghetti. Chicken Legs is chili and rice guy. I am a chili and spaghetti girl. I love to have some spaghetti noodles in my chili. SO good!! 
I thought why not make a Chili Spaghetti Casserole. I gave it a shot and it turned out great!! I took a shortcut and used a can of Hormel chili as the base to the chili. I added more meat, spices and some sour cream, cheese and those yummy canned fried onions. It was delicious!! I made some quick cornbread sticks and dinner was ready in about 30 minutes.
You can definitely make this casserole ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze for later. I actually like to divide the casserole between two 8×8-inch pans. I bake one and freeze the other one for later. This Chili Spaghetti Casserole is great for watching football! It is also a great potluck dish.

  1. Sounds and looks great! I’m thinking you could make this in your instant pot. I like to add elbows to my chili (what I grew up with).
