5. 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.

6. Add the cooked spaghetti noodles and bacon pieces to the meat mixture, then toss to combine.

7. 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!
