1. Saute Garlic and Onions in oil over medium heat

4. When beef is cooked, add bottled spaghetti sauce, left over sauce and milk swirl.
5. Lower heat and cook for about 5 minutes
6. Add in cubed cream cheese and stir until completely melted
7. Ketchup time! 3-4 medium squeezes (start with 3)
8. Stir, stir, stir
9. Simmer for another 5 minutes
10. Add KRAFT singles and stir until completely melted
11. Simmer for another 5 minutes
12. TASTE TEST!
13. Salt and pepper to taste

*I remember Mom left our sauce thick. Mama knows best!

**** Mom usually adds the whole pot of cooked noodles (UN rinsed) to the sauce and mixes it all together.

YummmAzing!!!

Personal Notes:
Eat this anytime of day! We would usually eat it straight from the pot (we always took a chance with burning our taste buds! I'm laughing while I remember the faces and noises we'd make because it was too hot. OMG, so funny!)
When standing became a chore, or the spaghetti would start to fall around the outside of the pot due to too many "Taste Testing's", we'd finally settle for a huge bowl or plate. I'm telling you, cold and straight from the fridge, piping hot from the microwave... whenever, however... (The day after is the best!) Mama's spaghetti = Soul Food!
