Baked Spagetti Casserole

Made this tonight!  Very yummy.  I like that you can make several and freeze without the onions on top!  Yummy quick meal for later! May try this with lowfat cream cheese next time, because its not the healthiest, but it is oh so good!  All three kiddos ate it, even Jacob! 8 ounces uncooked spaghetti 1 pound ground beef 1 large can spaghetti sauce (26.5 ounces) 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 cup chopped green peppers (can omit if you prefer) 1/3 cup chopped onions 8 ounces cream cheese 2 tablespoons milk Fresh grated Parmesan cheese French Fried Onions (small can) Directions Cook spaghetti according to directions on the package. Cook to al dente, drain and set aside. Brown ground beef. Drain excess grease. Add spaghetti sauce to skillet and heat. Combine onions, peppers and butter in small glass bowl. Cover and microwave 4 minutes on HIGH until soft. Add cream cheese and milk to vegetables and stir well. (If cream cheese is not soft, nuke it for 20-30 seconds to make it easy to spread.) Using a 10 x 6 dish, assemble in the following order: Thin layer of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the casserole dish. Spaghetti Cream cheese/vegetable mixture Spaghetti sauce Parmesan Cheese (amount subject to your own taste) French Fried Onions (added during last 5 minutes of cooking) Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Top with French Fried onion and continue baking 5 more minutes. (This is the secret ingredient–don’t let them burn.)
