Taco Spaghetti

This next one that I made was a HUGE hit with my kids and they were licking their plates when they were done.

1-16oz package of thin spaghetti noodles
1-lb of ground beef or ground turkey
1-28oz can of petite diced tomatoes
1- 14oz can of tomato sauce
3-4 cups of shredded cheese (which ever cheese you prefer, I used sharp cheddar and mozzarella)
1-11oz bag of Doritos
1-pkg taco seasoning (if you make your own it would be about 1/4 cup)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup water

First start your water for your pasta and start browning your meat.  When your pasta water is boiling then add pasta and only cook it until it is almost done (still has some bite to it)  I followed the package directions and cut off about 2 minutes. When your pasta is almost done drain it and put it in the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking pan.  When the meat is browned drain any grease and add your tomatoes, tomato sauce,water,  taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.  Let it cook together for about 10 minutes.  DO NOT DRAIN YOUR DICED TOMATOES!   After you have let your meat mixture cook for 10 minutes pour it on top of the pasta then put your shredded cheese on top and crunch up your Doritos and place them on the very top.  Put in 350* oven for about 20 minutes and then serve.
