Southwestern Spaghetti

This may sound like a strange combination, but it's really very good. Easy and inexpensive too. Yields 8 servings

12 oz. uncooked spaghetti
1.5 lbs. ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 jar (26 oz) spaghetti sauce
1 jar or can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 small can sliced black olives, drained
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream and salsa

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the taco seasoning, spaghetti sauce, mushrooms and olives. Drain spaghetti; stir into beef mixture.

Transfer to a greased shallow 3 qt. baking dish; sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Serve with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and salsa.

We really liked this one a lot - Scott couldn't bring himself to put salsa or lettuce on it but Brielle piled on the sour cream...have a little spaghetti with your sour cream.
