I am fairly certain this recipe came from a cookbook called "It's About Thyme." There is a series of cookbooks from an author who had a farm called "Oak Hill." This was one of the recipes from that series. This is perfect for potlucks, church suppers, company, kids, etc! I have even froze casseroles of this before and taken them on camping trips.

    In a large pan or Dutch oven, cook ground beef, onion and garlic until meat is browned. Drain fat. Stir in the rest of the ingredients except the spaghetti and cheeses. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Stir in drained spaghetti.
