MEXICAN BAKED SPAGHETTI – The Southern Lady Cooks

If you love a great pasta dish, add this Mexican Baked Spaghetti to your menu. Loaded in flavor and super versatile.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We are huge fans of Mexican dishes and this one hits the spot. With taco meat, refried beans, cream cheese and pasta, this dish comes together great. Then you add your favorite veggies! It’s such a versatile dish and it reheats well, too. The cream cheese is a great addition to this baked dish, it makes it really creamy.

SWAPS

You can make this dish with ground beef or ground turkey. If you use ground turkey, we recommend doubling the taco seasoning. Turkey is pretty bland, so it needs to be really seasoned. If you’re not a fan of green chilies, leave them out. If you want to add onion and green pepper, you can add those to the meat mixture and cook it all together. Not a fan of refried beans, you can replace those with black beans or leave them out altogether. This is great garnished with guacamole or sour cream!
