1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2
Cook the spaghetti in a pot of salted water, following package instructions for al dente. Drain, but do not rinse.
3
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onions and minced garlic until the onions become translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
4
Add the ground beef to the skillet, and season with 1 tsp salt. Cook the beef, breaking it into smaller pieces, until browned and cooked through.
5
Stir in the taco seasoning, followed by the Rotel diced tomatoes and chilis, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, along with the butter, and mix well to ensure that the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
7
Spread half the spaghetti and meat mixture evenly in the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle half the shredded cheese over the top. Then, add the remaining spaghetti and meat mixture, followed by the remaining cheese.
8
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.
