Ingredients

• 8 ounces spaghetti
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g. Rotel), drained
• 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup corn kernels
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 5

Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and corn. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Remove from heat.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Add the cooked spaghetti to the egg mixture and toss to coat thoroughly.

Step 8

Spread the spaghetti mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish, pressing it down gently to form a crust.

Step 9

Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the spaghetti crust, spreading it out to cover the crust completely.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly over the top of the beef mixture.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the dish is heated through.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm.
