This is an easy recipe similar to chili-mac but made with spaghetti. My son loved it and thought it was a neat concept. He even wanted it for breakfast the next day!

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

  • 1 (4 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces, drained (Optional)

  • cup water

  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package chili seasoning mix

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, and garlic in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Stir spaghetti into the beef mixture; add kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, mushrooms, water, chili seasoning mix, and Parmesan cheese. Place a cover on the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until hot, about 10 minutes. Top with Cheddar cheese.

Cook's Note:

For a Tex-Mex taco spaghetti variation, substitute black beans for the kidney beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies for the regular diced tomatoes, taco seasoning for the chili seasoning, and Colby-Jack for the sharp Cheddar.
