  1. Loved this dish! I made it using spicy pork sausage meat and still added in crushed chili flakes, I browned the meat with a chopped onion and fresh minced garlic, this is delicious, thank you for sharing sharing this great recipe Lauralie, this was made for KK's tag game
     
  2. This was a terrific meal and quite spicy, which works for this family. I used a 15 oz. can of regular canned corn because it's what I had on hand. Since I used almost 1-1/2 lbs. of ground beef, I needed more liquid so added a can of Rotel tomatoes. I cooked the beef with chopped onion, drained the fat, returned all to the pan and proceeded to add the remaining ingredients. I just can't bring myself to leave the meat undrained in any recipe. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks for sharing.
     
  3. This was a nice meal. I used ground pork & veal. Can't get mexicorn, so used frozen corn & added 1/2 red pepper & a diced zucchini. Used an onion instead of green onion. I found the sauce a little thin & lacking, so added a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste & some water. Will certainly make this again. Made for ZWT5 by a Hell's Kitchen Angel.
     
  4. What a delicious way to prepare spaghetti. I generally use ground turkey, but chose to use ground round instead. I added an extra can of diced tomatoes and a can of rotel as well. We also used shredded cotija cheese. Will definitely make this delicious dish again.
     
  5. This was nice change for spaghetti night. The flavors are great and it's very easy to make. I ened up with lots of extra sauce and I also think the sauce could have been a little thicker, but that might just be me.

  1. Perfect for my pasta lovers! We are big on Italian and Mexican dishes so this was the best of both worlds. Super fast and easy to put together. I ran out of canned tomatoes so I used salsa instead. DH says it needs more cheese, but we're kinda cheese addicts here, so that didn't come as a surprise.
     
  2. Great no-fuss weeknight meal. I followed the suggestion of one of the other reviewers and added a can of Rotel. I highly recommend it. I used rotelle pasta instead of spaghetti. Leftovers were great the next day for lunch, reheated in the microwave.
