Recipe: Cajun Beef Skillet (using ground beef and spaghetti)

CAJUN BEEF SKILLET

8 ounces lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion

2 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons Cajun spice mix
8 oz thin spaghetti, broken into thirds
1 (10 oz) pkg frozen sliced okra

Cook beef and onion in a non-stick skillet for 6 minutes on medium or until beef is no longer pink and onions are softened; drain off grease.

Add tomatoes, water, spice mix and bring to a boil. Sir in spaghetti. Gently boil 6 minutes uncovered or until liquid has thickened and spaghetti is limp, stirring often.

Reduce heat to low, stir in okra, and cook 6 minutes or until liquid is almost absorbed, but still saucy.
