Add 1 small diced onion and 1/2 cup diced bell peppers to the skillet, cooking and stirring for 2 minutes.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper, cooking for 1 minute.

Add 1 can of Rotel and 1/2 small can of tomato paste to the skillet, cooking and stirring for a couple of minutes to disperse the paste.

Pour in 4 1/2 cups of water and stir, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

Add 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and 1 teaspoon of cumin, stirring to combine.

Break 1 pound of spaghetti in half and add it to the skillet, along with 1 1/2 cups of water, stirring to combine.

Cover and cook for 13 to 15 minutes, stirring a couple of times to prevent sticking, until the spaghetti is tender.

Turn off the heat and top with cheddar cheese blend, garnishing with green onions, cilantro, sour cream, or crushed tortilla chips.
