Plain ol' marinara's got nothing on this meat sauce, with cream cheese, zesty dressing, ground beef and Parmesan. Plus, this dish fits your healthy eating plan.

Yummy...not a ton of flavor, but I found it to be pretty authentic to the pasta I have eaten in Italy.

This was fantastic! I used ground turkey instead of the beef, added Italian-style diced tomatoes, and served the sauce over wheat pasta. My only complaint is that there was only enough for 4 servings. Next time, I make a double batch! A++

This dish tasted okay, but it was a bit difficult to get my family interested in it because it smelled strange. I also found that it didn't fair well as leftovers.

This recipe is so easy and so delicious, I've made it about once a week since I found it here. My grocery store carries frozen onions, already cut up, so I have nothing to measure. Bag of onions, beef, can of Petite Diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, dressing, and cream cheese. These are all ingredients you can always have in the home. I recommend using a ground beef that is lean, because you don't get to drain the grease off.

This recipe didn't say when to add the dressing so I accidentally made it without but it was still very good. Next time I think I'll add some mushrooms.

This is a very good recipe. I used Italian diced tomatoes with basil... It was delicious. It was really great for lunch the next day, also.
