Jennifer’s Super Easy Chili Spaghetti Recipe

We always have garlic bread with this, which in my house if French bread sliced, buttered and sprinkled with garlic salt. Nothing too fancy, but still yummy!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef ((I use super lean, because I prefer that...you can use ground turkey as well))
  • chopped, dried onion (just a few shakes)
  • salt & pepper
  • chili powder
  • 1 - 15 oz. can or 2 - 8 oz. cans tomato sauce
  • 1 pound spachetti

Note

Jennifer

"When I was growing up, my mom would make two kinds of spaghetti. One, a more traditional spaghetti with meatballs, was liked by my oldest sister, but not my middle sister. The other, a chili-type spaghetti, was liked by the middle sister, but not the oldest. Lucky for me, I liked both! What I really like about this recipe is that it 's really easy and I often have the ingredients on hand and can make it without much planning ahead."

 

Directions

Step 1
Brown the hamburger in a skillet
Step 2
Season with salt & pepper and onion - just a few shakes of the chopped, dried onion
Step 3
Pour the tomato sauce over the hamburger and add half a can of water (or a whole can if using the smaller sized cans)
Step 4
Let simmer over low heat while boiling your spaghetti. (I normally use about 3/4 of a one pound package of spaghetti)
Step 5
Once your spaghetti is cooked, drain it and add it right into the skillet with the sauce to mix - then serve!
Step 6
We always have garlic bread with this, which in my house is French bread sliced, buttered and sprinkled with garlic salt. Nothing too fancy, but still yummy!
