My family is obsessed with this Million Dollar Spaghetti! So simple to make with layers of spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, beef & cream cheese mixture, and melt cheese on top. No! This spaghetti does not cost a million bucks, but this tastes like a million dollars! If you love spaghetti, this recipe is a must-try and no doubt a keeper!
