In a large pan, over medium heat, cook the onions for about 3 or 4 minutes, till softened.

Add the mince and cook until browned and juices run clear.

Add the garlic in the last minute so it doesn't burn. Cook until fragrant

Add the crushed tomatoes and spices to the pan, cook until combined and warm, about 5 or so minutes.

Spray baking dish with Cooking Spray.

Smooth the herbed cream cheese into the bottom of the dish.

Add the mince mixture over top, smooth out evenly.

Top with cheese and place in your preheated oven and cook for about 10 minutes, you want the top bubbling and starting to brown.

Remove carefully from the oven.

Serve with a big old cheesy smile! And enjoy with crackers /bread sticks or chips.
