NEW IDEA: based on some of the feedback, here's a new thought for the house-rule.
Ex. When you cast magic missile (1st-level), you spend a second 1st-level slot to cast the spell at 2nd-level.
This would do avg. damage 14 instead of 10.5 twice, but without having to use a 2nd-level slot.
Ex. You cast invisibility (2nd-level), and spend a 1st-level slot to increase it to 3rd-level.
This would allow you to select a second target, but at the cost of losing a 1st-level spell.
This way, you can use the slots to improve spells, increasing power and action economy, but at the cost of fewer over all spells.
You can spend multiple spell slots to upcast lower level spells.
