Cream Cheese Spaghetti Bake

January 9, 2012 · FoodHussy · 2 Comments

I’ve realized I don’t even need cookbooks anymore and I rarely use them – why? Cuz there are so many bloggers out there that have AWESOME recipes! I’m sure they use the cookbooks and then just share with me! 
As I’m browsing Pinterest – I typically will find a recipe and then email it to myself. I have a folder in my email called “Recipes” and I save them all there. Then when I’m gonna cook something – I just go to the magic folder and presto! Recently I found this Cream Cheese Spaghetti Bake recipe and decided to try it out! 
I started by browning some ground beef…

Gathered my other ingredients – which I got on a couponing frenzy at Meijer…sauce, pasta and cream cheese.

Stir the cream cheese, a little garlic & Italian seasoning into cooked spaghetti…
Lay that in the bottom of a greased baking dish…then stir the sauce into the ground beef…

Layer the sauce/ground beef mixture on top of the spaghetti and top with shredded mozzarella! Then in the oven for 30 minutes.

I did make this recipe a little smaller than the original – it was listed for 9×13 and I made 8×8. When there’s only 2 of us we just don’t need that much.

I also picked up some of these dinner rolls on sale for like 50 cents after sale/coupons! Larry loves rolls and these are SO simple!

The best thing about this recipe is that you probably already have these ingredients on hand – so it’s nice to take something like “spaghetti” and jazz it up just a bit for a quick and easy dinner!

Thanks to Plain Chicken for the recipe:

    I got several cookbooks when I got married and I don't know if I've made a single recipe from any of them! Thanks to blogs and Pinterest I have all the recipes I could ever want.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting about how you do your coupons!
