One-Pot Mozzarella Spaghetti Skillet

My mom used to make this for us when we were growing up, and I loved it. I always liked spaghetti, but this was a bit of a different taste, and I love that it is all cooked in the same pot – less dishes!

Ingredients:

1lb ground beef
1 c. chopped onion
1 chopped green pepper
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 c. water
1 1/2 c. broken spaghetti
1 1/2 tsp each salt and Italian seasoning
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

Combine beef, onion and green pepper in large frying pan. Saute over medium heat until meat is browned. Drain fat.

Add tomatoes & juice, stir in water, spaghetti, salt and seasoning. Bring to a boil Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until pasta is cooked.

Add cheese, stir until melted.

Serves 4-6. Quick, easy, and delicious!

Since we go through a lot of food in our house, I like to double it if I can. I usually keep the same amount of ground beef, then double the spaghetti, tomatoes and water. This ends up being a very affordable dish since I got the tomatoes and noodles for $.88 each, and the doubled recipe makes two meals for us. I’ve also added lentils in the past, which the boys really liked too.
