Love casseroles on a crisp sunny fall day and this made our day perfect! Nice gooey cheese-yum! I seasoned the pork with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1 minced garlic. I used a marinara sauce with 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon which we LOVED so don't wimp out on that. Made in a 1 1/2 quart casserole. The key ingredient is your choice of tomato sauce. Thank you AZPARZYCH for another great casserole.

Great casserole dish! I had egg noodles on hand so that's what I used, and used ground turkey instead of pork. Loved the addition of the cinnamon in this. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for ZWT9, The Apron String Travelers

For such a simple list of ingredients, this was surprisingly delicious! Made pretty much exactly to the recipe, using whole wheat pasta, skim milk, plain Hunt's tomato sauce, and a heaping 1/8 tsp cinnamon. I did use a little extra feta as I accidentally added too much to the pasta so had to add more to the top also (I did not have a problem with this as I LOVE feta LOL). The smallest casserole dish I have is 1 quart (4 cups) so that is what I used. Thanks for sharing AZ!
