My family did not like the cream cheese addition.

This was a good twist on the old spaghetti standby we normally have. Hubby and son really enjoyed it, personally for me, I think next time I'll try with half the cream cheese.

Really really good.... I added garlic and onion while I was browning the meat and added more herbs in the sauce... very thick and hearty...
