Southwestern Spaghetti with Broccoli
Recipe:
8 oz spaghetti
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup broccoli
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tspn chili powder
1/2 tspn cumin
1/2 tspn oregano
1/2 tspn salt
16 oz can tomato sauce
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Cook spaghetti. Brown ground beef. Boil broccoli. Combine egg and milk, mix well. Add seasonings to ground beef and cook 2 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce and cook another 2 minutes. Drain spaghetti and mix with egg and milk. Pour in to buttered baking dish. Top with broccoli. Spread ground beef mixture on top. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake 425 degrees F for 10 minutes.
Difficulty: **
Changes I made:
I added macaroni noodles because the box was almost empty to get it used.
Thoughts:
Could have used more seasoning and more broccoli. I would say maybe 1 cup of broccoli instead of half a cup. There was a lot of liquid leftover, so I'd try a thicker tomato sauce next time. Overall it was good and made a large serving. Enough for 4-5 people, so now I have some leftovers.
Verdict:
Good. A bit of a twist on classic spaghetti and get some broccoli in there too. Would eat again.
