    • 1 lb dry spaghetti
    • 3 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated and divided
    • 1 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
    • Fresh chives, snipped, for garnish (optional)

    How To Make Bacon Cream Cheese Baked Spaghetti

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
    2. In a large pot, stir together the milk, bacon soup, cream cheese, garlic powder and onion powder. Bring to a boil.
    3. Once bubbling, break spaghetti in half and stir into pot. Reduce heat to medium low and let spaghetti cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    4. Stir in 2 cups of the mozzarella and 1/2 of the bacon. Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    5. Top with remaining mozzarella and bacon and bake until cheese has melted and is starting to turn golden brown, about 15 minutes.
    6. Let sit 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chives, if using. Enjoy!
