Tex-Mex Spaghetti Pie by Twissis & Bon in Michigan image

This dish is actually a "marriage" of 2 distinctly different RZ recipes. It was created as a variation of my Tex-Mex Spaghetti recipe #168025, but was inspired by the spaghetti crust part of Bon in Michigan's Ham & Swiss Asparagus Pie recipe #142923. With her kind permission, I have borrowed & repeated the spaghetti crust portion of her recipe + prep instructions related to it (as they appear in her recipe). I also admit to being guided by other ingredient amts & parts of her recipe. Thank you so much Bon in Michigan! - The "heat level" of this dish is controlled by the picante sauce you use, but can be raised or lowered by adding spices to suit your preferences or using a mild picante sauce. For a family dinner or small dinner party, all you need to complete your meal is a guacamole salad & a flan or sopaipillas for dessert. Enjoy!
