Steps:

• The recipe calls for a 9x13 casserole, but I usually split it between two 8x8 pans (increasing the spaghetti, beef, sauce and mozarella slightly if needed) and freeze one of them for another time.
• Cook the spaghetti and drain, but don't rinse.
• Put it right back in the warm pot and add the cream cheese.
• Blend the cream cheese until melted with the spaghetti and then blend in the sour cream.
• Put spaghetti mixture into greased pan.
• Layer some of the mozarella, then the beef, then a little more mozarella.
• Spread the spaghetti sauce across and then put the rest of the mozarella on top.
• Bake at 350 (or maybe 375?) for 30- 35 minutes- until a knife comes out clean.
• Let it stand for 5 or 10 minutes.
