How to Make Taco Pasta Pie
- Cook 1 pound of spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and return the pasta to the saucepan.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 large egg to the cooked spaghetti.
- Mix thoroughly and press the spaghetti mixture firmly into a 10-inch pie pan, forming an even crust.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the bottom of the spaghetti crust.
- Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust bakes, brown 1 pound of ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 medium onion (chopped) and 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped) and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
- Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of tomato sauce, 1 (4-ounce) can of diced green chilies (undrained), 1 tablespoon chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Bring the meat mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Carefully spoon the meat mixture into the pre-baked spaghetti crust.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and heated through.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped fresh tomatoes before serving.
