Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lb ground beef
2 pkg taco seasoning
2 can(s) Rotel tomatoes and chilies, 10 oz each
1 can(s) tomato paste, 6 oz.
1 lb spaghetti
6 c water
2 c Mexican blend shredded cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Brown ground beef in a Dutch oven. Drain fat and return to pan.
  • 2. Stir in taco seasoning.
  • 3. Add Rotel, tomato paste and spaghetti.
  • 4. Cover with 6 cups of water.
  • 5. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer. Cover and cook until pasta is cooked and water is absorbed, approximately 15 minutes.
  • 6. Pour spaghetti into a sprayed 13x9 casserole dish.
  • 7. Top with the shredded cheese and bake at 350 until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • 8. You can also cook this completely on the stove top, just add the cheese after step 3 and cover & simmer until cheese is melted. I prefer the cheese to be melted in the oven until golden and bubbly. Serve with sour cream and cilantro (both optional).
