I have some cream cheese that I soon need to use.

Any recipe you'd like to share?

I think I'm probably one of two people in the country who hates cream cheese. Also cottage cheese, mayo, sour cream, regular cream and milk. Lol! See a pattern here? I don't know why.

I made this spaghetti once. I liked it. The menfolk didn't. Proceed with caution.

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
1 pound lean ground beef
1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
½ cup butter, sliced - divided
1 (8 ounce) ricotta cheese
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 to 12 minutes. Drain.

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.

Transfer to a bowl and mix in spaghetti sauce.

Place 1/2 of the butter slices into the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread 1/2 of the spaghetti into the dish.

Mix ricotta cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream together in a bowl; spread mixture over spaghetti.

Cover with remaining spaghetti and top with remaining slices of butter.

Pour ground beef mixture over spaghetti and spread in an even layer.Pour ground beef mixture over spaghetti and spread in an even layer.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Spread mozzarella cheese on top and continue baking until cheese has melted and is lightly browned, about 15 minutes more.

Make banana nut bread and use it on that.

My Mom used to like it on Ritz crackers. And cinnamon-raison toast.

I used to make a chicken recipe for the crock pot - chicken tenders, frozen southwestern corn, can of black beans, jar or two of salsa, and cream cheese.

@timeless - Honestly, one of my favorite sandwiches is to toast 2 slices of whole grain bread, spread softened cream cheese on one slice, and spread jelly on the other. Delicious!

Here's two others:

Hot Taco Dip

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In 9 x 13" ovenproof pan, soften 2 blocks of cream cheese and spread on bottom of pan. Layer 1 can of refried beans on top. Top with a jar of your favorite salsa. Sprinkle with 1-2 cups shredded Cheddar or Jack cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Serve with chips.

Here's one of my family's favorite desserts and treasured family recipe:

Pound Cheesecake

2 sticks butter or margarine

8 oz. block cream cheese

2 cups sugar

2 cups Bisquick

1 tsp. vanilla

Salt

6 eggs

Cream together butter, cream cheese, and sugar. Add Bisquick, vanilla, and a dash of salt. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each. Bake in large tube or Bundt pan at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Cool.

Oh @drizzellla

I think that sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing.

I can't have pasta, but could easily sub Palmini or Zoodled Zucchini making this low carb!

Those are great substitutions, @RespectLife. I bought fresh cabbage the other day, going to try that as a pasta substitute. I've also seen people cutting the Egglife wraps into skinny strips that resemble linguine.

½ cup brown sugar;

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp chopped pepper;

¼ cup chopped onion

½ cup catsup;

1 tsp mustard

¼ to ½ block cream cheese cubed.

Brown onion/bacon. Combine all except cheese in casserole dish. Bake uncovered at 350 for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, add cream cheese and return to oven for 10 more minutes.

@drizzellla I have a similar recipe....so good! A friend told me she substitutes the spaghetti for stuffed ravoloi from the freezer section at the grocery store. I have not tried that but I might when I make it again,

Add it to any dish to add richness and creaminess, eggs, chili, pasta dishes- I LOVE cream cheese. My favorite breakfast or lunch is toast with cream cheese and a thick slice of fresh tomato (even better on a bagel)! The cream cheese and tomato kind of merge together- TRY IT since it's tomato season!

@Mom2Dogs - OHHHH! Thank You.

I just happened to buy a bag of frozen ravioli yesterday at the grocery. I am going to make it with ravioli.

And if the menfolk don't like it - MORE for me!

Found another recipe I want to try -

Neiman Marcus' Million Dollar Dip

1/2 cup slivered almonds
8 slices bacon
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (8-ounce) package shredded cheddar cheese (about 2 cups)
4 green onions, sliced thin and divided
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Toast the slivered almonds in a pan over medium heat until golden brown. Let cool. Cook the bacon until extra crispy. Drain the bacon and let cool before chopping into bits.

Combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise in a bowl and mix until smooth. Stir in the package of shredded cheese, bacon bits, 3 of the green onions, slivered almonds, and the pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix until combined. Top with the additional green onion.

Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap or cover with a lid and let chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. I recommend serving the dip with some sort of buttery cracker, but raw veggies would be nice too.
