Fideo con Ground Beef (Mexican Spaghetti)

2/3 lb Ground Beef
14-16 oz of Noodles (vermicelli or broken angel hair pasta, or broken spaghetti)
1/3 C oil (Not Olive Oil).
2 cloves garlic minced
1 medium onion diced
1 can Rotel Tomatoes (Mexican - Lime and Cilantro)
1-2 C Grated Cheese

Brown Ground Beef and set-aside. In a deep skillet, Saute Garlic and Onion in Oil until onions are tender (clear). Add noodles and brown. Add 3 C water, Ground Beef and Rotel Tomatoes. Bring to a boil then cover and simmer until Noodles are tender. (about 10-15 minutes - may need to add more water if water is gone and noodles aren't done). Remove from heat and stir in grated cheese until melted throughout. Serve with Tortillas. Optional - can use any kind of meet - chicken, pork, chorizo (Mexican sausage), etc... Can also use broth instead of water for more flavor. This is a very basic recipe and can be played with for different tastes. Can make it like a traditional spaghetti and add spaghetti sauce instead of Rotel Tomatoes, or try a jar of Salsa... The Mexican Vermicelli is in the aisle of Authentic foods and is cheaper than the regular pasta noodles.
