This was good! DH had never had any kind of spaghetti pie before and he was impressed! The spaghetti "crust" held together quite well. I drained the diced tomatoes and added in some tomato paste. My beef was also leftover taco-seasoned meat, so I started with a taco flavored base. Served this with corn on the side and it made a very nice Mexican meal!
