MEXICAN BAKED SPAGHETTI

Mexican baked spaghetti is a twist on an old classic.

This dish is easy and delicious. It’s a very versatile recipe. Add in a can of black beans if you aren’t a fan of refried beans. Add whichever toppings your family likes best. You could easily use ground turkey or ground chicken instead of ground beef. We love this dish with sour cream, salsa and tortilla chips. This recipe also makes great leftovers in that is reheats well.

Mexican Baked Spaghetti

1 lb of ground beef

8 ounces of spaghetti noodles

2-3 cups of Mexican shredded cheese

1 can of diced tomatoes (I use Rotels Lime and Cilantro)

1 packet of taco seasoning

4 ounces of cream cheese, softened

1 (4 ounce) can of green chilies

1 (16 ounce) can of refried beans

Preheat oven to 350. Cook pasta according to package directions. Brown ground beef over medium heat until cooked through. Drain. Add taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, green chilis, cream cheese and refried beans to the ground beef  and cook over medium heat until cooked through and warm.

Grease a 9X13 baking dish and place half the noodles on the bottom. Spread meat mixture over noodles. Cover with half of the shredded cheese. Repeat. Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Serve with salsa, sour cream, guacamole and tortilla chips. Serves 6-8.
