Add onions, mushrooms, garlic, and butter to another small saucepan. Simmer on low until onions are translucent and soft.
Add softened cream cheese and milk to same skillet as onions, and mushrooms and stir well.
Using a 12 x 8-inch (I used a 9x9 deep ) baking dish layer in the following order: thin layer of spaghetti sauce, cooked spaghetti, cream cheese/vegetable mixture, remaining spaghetti sauce, and Parmesan cheese.
Cover with foil, and bake at 350 degrees for 25- 30 minutes.
Remove foil . Top with french-fried onions (optional, but it is much better) and continue baking 5 more minutes. Careful!!....don’t let them onions burn if choosing to use them.
* NOTE: YOU CAN ALSO MAKE THIS VEGAN BY OMITTING THE BEEF
