Ingredients

  • 6 oz. spaghetti uncooked
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef 93%
  • 1 small onion (150g) chopped
  • 1 bell pepper (150g) chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 Tbsp taco seasoning 25% less sodium
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 14.5 oz. can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste (33g)
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn (67g)
  • 1/2 cup black beans (90g) rinsed & drained
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese (112g)

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling add the spaghetti and cook for 2 minutes less than the package directions states for al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook breaking into small crumbles with a meat masher until no longer pink.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, corn and black beans. Simmer, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti and toss with the sauce until well dispersed.
  • Stir in the cheese until melted. Remove from heat. Serve hot with toppings if desired and enjoy!

Notes

Ground beef: Can substitute lean ground turkey (around 92%) for similar macros
