Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef lean
  • 1 orange bell pepper chopped
  • 1 poblano pepper chopped
  • 1 small sweet onion chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Taco seasoning
  • 10 ounces tomato soup condensed, canned
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chile Powder New Mexico preferred, or cayenne
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 Tablespoon A-1 Steak Sauce
  • 1 cup sweet corn frozen, kernels
  • 1/4 cup pasta cooking water
  • 12 ounces Spaghetti Cooked
  • 1/2 Cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1/2 Cup Pepper Jack Cheese shredded

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, brown ground beef with chopped peppers and onions, until vegetables are tender and beef is no longer pink. About 10 minutes.
  • Add taco seasoning, chile powder and milk and stir well. Add corn, tomato soup, and A-1 steak sauce. Drizzle in some of the pasta water as needed. I usually do 1/4 - 1/2 cup. Mix well and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in cooked spaghetti and shredded cheese. Simmer for about 5 minutes until heated through.
  • Serve with more grated cheese on top.

Notes

 Make it Your Own:
  • Add a small (2.2 ounce can) of sliced black olives. (drained)
  • Add a 14.5 ounce can of Pinto beans in chili sauce. (drained)
  • Adjust the heat level. Swap out jalapeno peppers for the poblano peppers. Or add a shake or two of your favorite hot sauce.
 
Tips for Success: Use a lean mix of ground beef. There's no need for extra fat for this recipe. Save that 80-20 blend for your favorite burger.
