Southwestern Spaghetti is a hearty, yet simple casserole that’s sure to satisfy.  Spaghetti in a taco seasoned sauce is topped with cheese and baked until golden brown.  We’ve enjoyed this dish since I first made it in 2003.

    If you like your food with just a bit of heat, I suggest adding a sprinkle of Mongolian Fire Oil to Southwestern Spaghetti before eating it. Mongolian Fire Oil gives this dish a small but pleasant amount of heat. We can’t find Mongolian Fire Oil and order it from Amazon. (The link I’ve provided is an affiliate link.)
