Johnny Marzetti

I have seen many casseroles called "Johnny Marzetti". Some have been made with Macaroni Noodles, some with Ziti, Some with Rotini, but when I grew up the REAL Johnny Marzetti was made with Egg Noodles as this recipe is and Delicious too, using our very own Spaghetti Seasoning Blend of Spices.
