Happy Spaghetti Day everyone! I’m so excited to be sharing this dish with you today. It has so many of my favorite things – ground beef, pasta, cream cheese, french fried onions. YUM!! Grab a fork and let’s eat!
Creamy Baked Spaghetti
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 8 ounces uncooked spaghetti
- 1 pound ground beef
- 26.5 ounce can spaghetti sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3 1/2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
- French’s fried onions
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease. Add spaghetti sauce to skillet and heat.
-
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add milk, cream cheese and onion powder, heat until cream cheese melts and mixture is smooth. Stir occassionally.
-
In a 9″ x 13″ baking dish, spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the dish. Then layer with spaghetti, then cream cheese mixture – spreading evenly over the top, more spaghetti sauce, and then parmesan cheese.
-
Bake for 25 minutes. Top with French’s fried onions – as much as you like, and bake 5 minutes more. ”This is the secret ingredient – don’t let them burn.”
Recipe Notes
Make this ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze without the French’s fried onions.

Hi Jess! I totally forgot to add my bloglovin' button back on after my new design got loaded up. Thanks so much for reminding me. 🙂
I'm SO following back. 1 post into your blog and I'm loving it! Guinness is my favorite. I love using it when I cook. We just may have to be new bloggy besties!
Hi Jules, I love the new look! xo
It's too early to be this hungry but your recipe and picture is making my mouth water!
Oh! This is on my menu tonight, I haven't put cream cheese in before so I will be trying that! I found you through a blog hop and I am a new follower. 🙂
Thanks mom 🙂
I liked the cream cheese a lot. Mike thought it was too thick so I amended the recipe to have a bit more milk to thin things out a bit. I hope you like it as much as we did.
Just made this for dinner! Yumm! super good. I liked it better than regular spaghetti. Thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
