Chili Spaghetti
Allison Huller McAlister
Looking for a different twist on plain old spaghetti? Jazz it up a bit with this recipe. The pasta dish has just the right amount of spiciness to give the flavor a little kick. This zesty spaghetti goes great with a tossed green salad and garlic bread on the side.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups tomato juice
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
8 ounces spaghetti, broken into 3-inch pieces
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook beef, onion and garlic until meat is no longer pink. Drain. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in the remaining ingredients, adding spaghetti noodles last. Place mixture in a greased 2 1/2-quart baking dish. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 70 minutes or until spaghetti is just tender. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes before serving.
