Crazy Cooking Challenge. Cream Cheese Spaghetti

Its time again for the Crazy Cooking Challenge. This month we were set out to find the best red sauce spaghetti recipe and share it with the world :) I had so many to choose from and they all looked so good. I mean who doesn't love spaghetti? Its the ultimate comfort food and throw on some cream cheese and fried onions and you are pretty much in heaven lol. My family LOVED this and we have made it twice already its so good. I was worried that this recipe would be posted by a few people on the challenge this month because it seems to be very popular out in the blog world right now and so I kept it to myself and tried a few other spaghetti recipes. But I kept coming back to this because it was that good. If you have not already made this for dinner you need to do it tonight. Trust me you will love it.. I got this recipe from salad-in-a-jar.com She has an amazing blog and I could spend hours on it looking at all the food that I want to try. So here it is my Crazy Cooking Challenge recipe for March .
