Skillet Spaghetti

From Taste of Home



Ingredients:
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/3 cup chopped green pepper
4 to 6 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
3 ounces uncooked spaghetti, broken
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, green pepper, 4 tablespoons water, salt, chili powder and spaghetti.

Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until spaghetti is tender, stirring frequently and adding remaining water if necessary.

Sprinkle with cheese; cover and heat until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Comments:
I left out the green peppers and skipped the cheese part since I wasn't feeling cheesy. I love spaghetti. This was a standard preparation sauce with the noodles cooked in the same pan rather than in water. Interesting, worked just fine. I'll definitely try this one again.

(Sorry for the crappy picture. It just would not focus!)
