Grandma's Upside Down Spaghetti

 

My Mother in Law made this and it tasted good enough that me a professed spaghetti hater asked for the recipe.  I love cream cheese and the addition of cream cheese to the spaghetti is a great combination.  I made this last night and my niece who was here with her husband asked for the recipe because they liked it too.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 (24 oz) package spaghetti noodles

1 1/2 lbs ground beef

1/2 onion

1 (8oz) package cream cheese

1 small carton real sour cream

1 small can tomato paste

1 large jar spaghetti sauce

2 cloves garlic

salt and pepper to taste

2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  

Cook spaghetti noodles according to directions on package.  While noodles are boiling brown hamburger with onion on stove.  Then in a bowl mix together sour cream and cream cheese and set aside.  Finally mix in blender jar of spaghetti sauce, tomato paste, cloves of garlic and salt and pepper.  When noodles are done drain in a colander.  

Now it is time to layer.  First spread a thin layer of cream cheese mixture in a 9x13 pan. Then layer spaghetti sauce, sprinkle hamburger, cream cheese mixture, cheddar cheese and then spaghetti noodles.  Continue layering in this order for three layers finishing with sauce and topping with cheddar cheese.  Cover with foil and cook for 1 hour.
