Meatballs and Spaghetti with Creamy Tomato Basil Sauce

These were the easiest meatballs I've ever made and Nate loved them. I used a package of ground turkey (1.25 pounds) instead of ground beef and cut down the water to 3/4 cup. Using my cookie scoop to form the balls, the recipe made 35 meatballs so I froze half for future use.

Meatballs
2 pounds ground beef
1 package Stove Top, chicken flavor
1 1/4 cup water

Preheat oven to 400. Mix all ingredients together and form into 1 1/2 inch balls. Bake for 16-20 minutes.

Sauce
1 jar (14 oz) spaghetti sauce
2 oz cream cheese
2 TB chopped fresh basil

Heat all sauce ingredients in a pan. Pour over spaghetti and top with meatballs.
