How to Make Mexican Beef Spaghetti Pie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook 1 pound spaghetti according to package directions (about 8 minutes), then drain.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with 1/2 cup of your favorite pasta sauce, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.
Press the spaghetti mixture into a 9-inch pie plate to form a crust.
In a large skillet, brown 1 pound ground beef over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, breaking it up into crumbles.
Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1 (28-ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained). Stir to combine.
Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream.
Spoon the beef mixture into the spaghetti shell.
Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
