1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce
1 package (1.25 oz.) taco seasoning mix
1 medium onion, chopped
½ medium green pepper, chopped
2 tomato sauce cans water
Cheddar cheese, shredded
spaghetti
Jalapeño pepper, chopped fine (optional)
Cook ground beef and onion in large sauce pan until beef is brown; drain excess fat. Add tomato
sauce, water, jalapeño pepper (if desired), and taco seasoning mix. Bring to a boil; simmer on low
for 5-7 minutes.
Add spaghetti depending on thickness desired (start with 6-8 oz.). Bring to a boil; turn heat to low until
spaghetti is done (15-20 minutes), stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Let stand for 10-15 minutes and place individual servings on plate and top with shredded cheddar to
taste. Serves 4-6.
