Expert Tips For Success
When you are working on the pasta, make sure that you lay the pasta in different directions, that way the pasta doesn’t clump.
If you want a richer flavor you can use some beef broth in replace of the water.
Make sure you drain the beef, as it can create a lot of oil at the end if you don’t.
Make sure that the pasta is covered in liquid, or it will not cook down and become tender. It needs to be submerged in the liquid.
Storing Leftovers
Take any leftovers and store in an airtight container for up to three days. You will find the pasta begins to soak up the extra liquid, and if need be add a splash of water to help thin it out a bit.
You can freeze your pasta Mexico in the freezer for 2-3 months. The pasta will soften up a bit once you go to reheat it. But the flavor will still be delicious.

Mexican Spaghetti
Mexican Spaghetti is a delicious Mexican flavored spaghetti. Ground beef, taco seasoning, Rotel, and more all cooked in one skillet. An easy 30 minute ground beef recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 8-9 ounces spaghetti noodles

- Let the pasta simmer 12-15 minutes. You can stir it with tongs a time or two, to make sure the pasta doesn't stick together and clump.
- Once the pasta is fully cooked, sprinkle cheese on top, and then serve with your favorite Mexican toppings. We like sour cream, cilantro, etc.
Notes
Rotel - Rotel is simply diced tomatoes with green chiles. You can buy a can of diced tomatoes and a small 4 ounce can of green chiles if you can't find Rotel at your store.
Spice Level - Use hot taco seasoning or hotter Rotel to ramp up the heat. Or buy mild of each to keep it lighter i flavor and is kid friendly.
Pasta - I used spaghetti but you can swap with angel hair, elbow, bowtie, or other styles of dried pasta.
