8-10
ingredients
- 6 ounces spaghetti (about 1/2 package)
- 1 lb ground beef, browned and drained
- 26 ounces tomato sauce, of your preference (1 jar)
- 1⁄2 small onion, finely chopped
- 1⁄2 tablespoon minced garlic (I use the one you get at the store on a jar)
- 1 tablespoon milk, of your preference (I use skim milk)
- salt
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1⁄4 cup Velveeta cheese, chopped in small cubes (1/3 cup if you're a real cheese lover)
- parmesan cheese (optional)
directions
- Cook spaghetti as directed on package and put aside.
- Brown ground beef and drain excess fat.
- Mix together ground beef, onions and garlic on medium heat; let it cook until onions are tender.
- Add tomato sauce, milk and salt; let it cook for about 5-10 minutes.
- Turn the heat off and add the cream cheese; mix until cream cheese is completely melted.
- Pre-heat oven 350°F.
- Cover the bottom of a 9x13 glass pan with the tomato sauce (do not use too much -- just enough so that the spaghetti won't stick to the pan).
- Add spaghetti and cover it with remaining sauce (do not stir now).
- Sprinkle velveta cheese on top.
- Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for about 5 minutes.
- Remove aluminum foil and bake for another 5 minutes.
- Remove pan from the oven and stir gently so that sauce and cheese will be incorporated to the rest of spaghetti
- Enjoy with some Parmesan cheese on top!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a 27 year old Brazilian girl who is married to an American guy. I have been leaving here in the USA for 2 years now and it has not been easy. Everything here is just so different from Brazil and that includes food! I have been learning how to cook since the day I've got married and I do know how to prepare some Brazilian dishes but, I have to confess that I am better on cooking American dishes (when I say American I am actually referring to dishes I have tried here in the USA...not all of them are part of the American cuisine I guess). I don't have much time to cook because I work 2 jobs but, I try to do it regardless...on my day off usually. My hubby says he likes my food...he is a meaty person and so I try to prepare dishes including beef for him...it's usually a mixture of Brazilian and American cuisine...rs. We do not have kids yet but we have been planning on it for end of this year. We have a cat and her name is Xena. She also loves trying the dishes I cook and sometimes she likes them and sometime she doesn't...just like a little person!
