Chili Spaghetti
Description
This Chili Spaghetti recipe starts by browning ground beef with seasoned salt and minced garlic to build a savory base. The cooked beef is transferred to a crockpot, where it is combined with tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, chili beans in Mexican style, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, chili powder, and water. The chili cooks on low heat for about two hours, allowing the ingredients to develop deep, rich flavors.
As the chili finishes, spaghetti noodles are broken into thirds and cooked separately according to package instructions until tender. After draining, the noodles are stirred into the chili, combining pasta with the thick, flavorful chili sauce.
This dish provides a filling and accessible meal popular for its ease and satisfying taste. The mix of beans and meat with a tomato-chili base and tender spaghetti noodles creates a hearty dish suitable for casual family dinners.
The recipe is suitable for freezer storage. The chili base (without cooked spaghetti) can be frozen for up to six months. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to a week and can be reheated on the stove or microwave.
