There’s nothing upside-down about how good this casserole tastes! The Stranger Things Casserole starts with seasoned, savory turkey and mixes it with spaghetti and meat sauce before covering the whole thing in breadcrumbs and baking it to a golden brown. Whether you live in Hawkins, Indiana, or not, that sounds like an amazing way to enjoy the spookier moments of the season with a comforting, heartwarming dish.
