Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 12 ounces spaghetti

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 pinch garlic salt

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain fat and stir in spaghetti sauce.

  4. Drain spaghetti and place in a bowl. Add cream cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Stir until cream cheese is melted and spaghetti is thoroughly coated. Spread a small amount of meat sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking pan; put spaghetti on top and top with remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses on top.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 30 minutes.
