- 8 ounces dry spaghetti

- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ½ cup diced onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps
Cook the 8 ounces dry spaghetti noodles according to package instructions to al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 6 slices chopped bacon pieces. Cook until browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Returning to the skillet, add 1 pound lean ground beef and ½ cup diced onion, diced. Cook until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is softened.
Add 2 cloves minced garlic, then stir and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in 1 tablespoon chili powder, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 (15-ounce) canned Rotel tomatoes, 1 (15-ounce) canned tomato sauce, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Add the cooked spaghetti noodles and bacon pieces to the meat mixture, then toss to combine.
Sprinkle with 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese and gently toss it into the noodles. Cover and let the cheese melt for about 5 minutes. Garnish with toppings like green scallions and jalepeño, then enjoy!
