Linguini with Meat Sauce

This recipe is AMAZING. It makes a heap so you might bake and freeze, have friends over, or I used it to make our family a serving and took the other half to a mom who had a baby. It is oh-so good!

Linguini with Meat Sauce (Southern Living Magazine)
2 jars of spagehtti sauce (I just use Ragu)
2lbs lean ground beef
1/2 onion- chopped
2-4 cloves of garlic (I did three large ones)
~Brown ground beef, onion, and garlic until completely cooked and then add both jars of sauce
16oz package linguini cooked, rinsed, and drained
1 handful of chopped green onions
1 pkg cream cheese (I used light)
16oz sour cream (I used light)
~When noodles are done add cream cheese, sour cream and green onions and stir until everything is melted.
Spread noodle mixture in the bottom of greased pan then pour meat sauce on top. Top with (a bunch of) mozzarella or cheddar cheese and bake at 350 uncovered for 30-45 mins or until cheese is bubbly.

Happy Eating for real! :)
