Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large Skillet
  • Colander
  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula
  • broiler-safe baking dish or ovenproof plates

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound ground hamburger (ground beef)
  • 1/2 yellow onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 package spaghetti ½ of a 17.6 oz package
  • 1/4 cup fire roasted tomatoes diced
  • 1 cup pinto beans canned, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn canned, drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 container Campbell's Soups for Easy Cooking: Mexican Style Tomato pourable, ready-to-use soup
  • shredded cheddar cheese or other favorite shredded cheese, for topping
  • avocado cut into chunks, for topping
  • green onion chopped, for topping
  • 1/2 cup salsa your favorite salsa (used Organic Kirkland brand)

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package directions; drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground hamburger, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  • When the beef is mostly browned, drain excess grease. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and garlic powder to the skillet; stir and cook about 4–5 minutes until the onion is softened.
  • Add the diced fire roasted tomatoes, rinsed pinto beans, drained corn, the Campbell's Mexican Style Tomato soup, and 1/2 cup salsa to the beef mixture; stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  • Toss the simmering beef mixture with the drained spaghetti until well combined and heated through.
  • Portion the spaghetti into ovenproof bowls or a broiler-safe baking dish, top with avocado chunks, chopped green onion, and a generous sprinkling of shredded cheddar.
  • Place under a hot broiler about 1 minute, watching closely, just until the cheese melts; remove and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use ½ of a 17.6 oz spaghetti package as specified.
  • Drain canned beans and corn well before adding.
  • Watch the broiler closely; cheese melts quickly.
  • Substitute shredded cheese to your preference.
