Ingredients
1
pound
spaghetti
1
pound
ground beef
2
cups
tomato sauce
1
cup
chopped bell peppers
2
cups
Mexican cheese blend
Instructions
Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
Add tomato sauce, bell peppers, and desired seasonings to the skillet. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in cooked spaghetti and 1 cup of cheese. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Top with remaining cheese and serve hot.
Notes
Cook the spaghetti al dente to prevent it from becoming too soft when mixed with the sauce.
Drain excess fat from the cooked ground beef to reduce greasiness.
Customize the heat level by adding more or less chili powder or jalapeno peppers.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
For a creamier sauce, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
