Prep time is about 20 minutes
Total time is about 40 minutes
Serving is 6 at about 1 1/3 cups each

Ingredients -
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 12 oz box of Medium Pasta Shells (cooked as per box instructions)
- 2/3 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1/3 cup Whipped Chives & onion Cream Cheese
- 24 oz Spaghetti Sauce
Let’s Make this Pasta Bake -
Heat oven to 375 degrees F
Brown ground beef in large skillet; drain. Add pasta, sauce and whipped chives & onion cream cheese.
Spoon into casserole dish (I used a 9×9 ish one seen in picture above) and top with shredded cheese.
Bake 20 minutes or until heated through.
Notes from The Cook –
Although this tasted good for dinner, I felt this wasn’t quite salty enough for me, and could have used a bit more flavor. Adding garlic to this may make it a bit more tasty for all. Share with me any variations you make of this pasta bake so I can try them out too!



























Much better than buying a packaged meal with a ton of preservatives, sounds good!

Thanks. U know I usually buy the already made pasta bakes and they really don’t last as long when u cook them, especially feeding three kids. This feeds us all for at least two days if not longer
That’s a good point, those boxed ones are soo small!
