Ingredients

Directions

Step1

Turn your oven on and set it to 350°F so it can heat up while you prepare the food.

Step2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti following the package directions until it is tender but not too soft. Drain the water and put the spaghetti back into the pot.

Step3

While the spaghetti is still hot, add the cubed cream cheese. Stir well until the cream cheese melts and coats the noodles, making them creamy and smooth.

Step4

Heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook it for about 6–8 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully browned. Drain off any extra grease.

Step5

Add the Italian seasoning and garlic to the beef. Stir and cook for about 1 minute until it smells fragrant. Pour in the marinara sauce, stir everything together, and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes.

Step6

Lightly spread a small amount of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish to keep the pasta from sticking. Add the cream cheese spaghetti evenly over the sauce, then spoon the rest of the meat sauce on top.

Step7

Sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses evenly over everything. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, until the casserole is hot and bubbly.

Step8

Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy baked spaghetti casserole! And Enjoy!!
