I tweaked it a lil bit by adding crushed red pepper flakes & shredded Mexican Cheese, using both frozen & canned corn, using half & half cream (added water 1:1) instead of regular milk and it turned out good! I also melted the cream cheese in the microwave as suggested by many. Will definitely be cooking it again.
I actually made some changes to the recipe. Instead of ground beef, I used ground turkey. Instead of tomato paste, I use tomato sauce and diced Italian herb tomatoes. Instead of garlic powder & dried minced onions, I used fresh minced garlic and onions. I didn't have any mushrooms so I skipped that ingredient. Instead of spaghetti noodles I used fettuccine. It turned out so delicious. It was so easy to make a homemade spaghetti sauce. I will definitely make this version I created in the next family dinner. But this time, I will include the fresh mushrooms and perhaps some fresh green bell peppers as well.
