Ingredients

• 8 ounces spaghetti
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

How to Make Cheesy Beef and Spaghetti Bowl

1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
4. Stir in the corn, tomato sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Mix the cooked spaghetti into the beef mixture until well combined. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
6. Cover the skillet and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with additional cheese if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a little kick, add red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
• Use whole wheat spaghetti for a healthier twist.
• Try different cheeses like pepper jack or a blend for extra flavor.
• Don’t skip the resting time after adding cheese; it helps it melt beautifully.

Easy Variations

• Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
• Toss in chopped bell peppers or zucchini for added veggies.
• Use a jar of your favorite marinara sauce instead of plain tomato sauce for a richer flavor.
• Top with fresh basil or parsley before serving for a fresh touch.

What to Serve With It

• Garlic bread for dipping into the sauce.
• A simple green salad with vinaigrette.
• Steamed broccoli or green beans for a healthy side.
• Crusty bread to soak up any extra sauce.
