Mexican Spaghetti

This recipe is adapted from the Betty Crooker cookbook. It is a nice twist on a family-favorite.

1 lb. ground beef
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can diced tomatoes (I like the kind with chilies in them for this recipe)
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 - 6 oz. spaghetti

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. In a large saucepan, brown ground beef; drain. Add taco seasoning, corn and tomatoes, not draining any of the canned items. Simmer for 5 - 10 minutes. Add cooked pasta and stir. Serve topped with fresh cilantro (do not leave this out - it makes this dish!) and cheese.
