Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound ground hamburger
  • 1/2 yellow onion finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 package spaghetti of a 17.6 oz package
  • 1/4 cup diced fire roasted tomatoes
  • 1 cup canned pinto beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup canned corn 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 your favorite shredded cheese, for topping
  • avocado cut into chunks, for serving
  • green onion chopped, for serving
  • 1/2 cup your favorite salsa we used Organic Kirkland Brand from Costco

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large Skillet
  • Colander
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • broiler-safe baking dish or ovenproof bowls

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package directions for al dente; drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground hamburger; cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
  3. Drain excess grease from the skillet, then add the diced yellow onion, minced garlic, and garlic powder; stir and cook about 5 minutes until the onion is softened.
  4. Stir in the diced fire-roasted tomatoes, rinsed pinto beans, drained corn, the Mexican-style tomato soup, and 1/2 cup salsa; bring to a simmer.
  5. Add the cooked, drained spaghetti to the skillet (or pour the meat mixture over the pasta) and toss gently until well combined and heated through.
  6. Portion the spaghetti into broiler-safe bowls or a baking dish, top with avocado chunks, chopped green onion, and shredded cheese.
  7. Place under a hot broiler for about 1 minute, just until the cheese melts, then remove and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a 17.6 oz spaghetti package and cook half of it as directed.
  • Drain canned beans and corn to avoid extra liquid.
  • Adjust salsa amount to taste for spice level.
  • Watch closely under the broiler to prevent burning.
