This rich, soup-inspired casserole makes a cheesy, ultra-comforting side dish (our tasters said it would make a great addition to a holiday spread) without the fussiness of a soup course. Make the onions ahead to save time.

Spaghetti-and-Meatballs Casserole

Eat spaghetti and meatballs by the slice instead of the bowl. Each slab of this kid-friendly casserole has tiny meatballs and pockets of gooey cheese. Add slices of leftover cooked Italian sausage if you have it.
