How to Make Baked Cream Cheese Spaghetti

  1. Preheat and Prep:
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cook the spaghetti noodles according to package instructions, then drain and return them to the pot.
  1. Mix with Cream Cheese:
  • While the spaghetti is still hot, add the cream cheese to the pot and mix until well combined. This will create a creamy base for the dish.
  1. Cook the Ground Beef:
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef seasoned with salt and pepper until completely browned. Drain any excess grease.
  • Add minced garlic and Italian seasoning to the cooked beef, stirring to combine.
  1. Combine with Sauce:
  • Pour your favorite spaghetti sauce into the skillet with the seasoned beef mixture. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  1. Assemble and Bake:
  • Grease a 9×13 baking dish and spread a layer of the meat sauce on the bottom.
  • Top with the cooked spaghetti noodles, then layer the remaining meat sauce on top.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the top of the dish.
  1. Bake to Perfection:
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
  1. Serve and Enjoy:
  • Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
  • Dish out generous portions of the creamy, cheesy spaghetti and enjoy the delicious flavors with your loved ones.
