Baked Cream Cheese Spaghetti Casserole

you.must.try.this. 

This dish is so delicious and so very easy to throw together, and I haven't even thrown it together.  BUT, I have eaten this dish and I know two peeps who have thrown it together and they have both told me their kitchen smelled so delicious while it was baking and even went back for seconds when they are not seconds type people. SO, if you have understood all that rambling then you know you really should try this dish.  :)

I would show you a picture from Pinterest but I can't upload pictures at this point in time.

Baked Cream Cheese Spaghetti Casserole

12 oz spaghetti
1 (28 ounce) jars prepared spaghetti sauce
1 lb lean ground beef
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 clove garlic, minced
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.

In a skillet, brown the ground beef until cooked through; drain fat and stir in spaghetti sauce. Set aside.

Cook spaghetti according to directions on packet. Drain and place cooked spaghetti in bowl. Add cream cheese, Italian Seasoning and minced garlic. Stir until cream cheese is melted and the spaghetti is thoroughly coated.

Lightly grease a 9x13" pan. Spread a small amount of meat sauce in the bottom of the dish. Put spaghetti on top of sauce and top with remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.

Bake for 30 minutes, until bubbly.
