30 minutes to dinner!

Another super quick ground beef recipe! I've made this dozens of times, dozens of different ways but tonight I upped the ante with the addition of Philadelphia Cooking Cream (the Italian Herb variety)!
You can use whatever brand jarred/canned sauce you and your family like, we like Hunts Traditional it's pretty cheap when it's on sale you can pick it up for about 90 cents! That's a bargain any day folks!
You can also vary the meat and use meatballs. I've also done this with Alfredo sauce and chicken for another easy version!
Tonight we have the Creamy Pasta Bake!
1 lb pasta cooked about 1 minute less than directions call for
1/2 cup pasta water (save it out before you drain your pasta)
1 jar/can Spaghetti sauce
1 bag of cooked beef, thawed
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
3/4 of the container cooking cream
After draining the pasta pour it back into the pot adding all the rest of the ingredients. Stir it around until cooking cream is incorporated. Pour into a lightly greased 9x13 pan. Spoon out the rest of the cooking cream over the top in little plops and cover with 1/2 lb shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil, bake 30 minutes at 350.
Serve with a salad with zesty Italian dressing and some crusty bread!
