Instructions

Cook spaghetti noodles as per package instruction. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, add oil and butter and cook over medium heat until butter is melted. Once melted, add garlic and onions and cook until tender and fragrant.
Add ground beef and cook while stirring and breaking the lumps until it is no longer pink, about 3 minutes.
Add the hotdogs and cook for 2 minutes while stirring and turning them from time to time.
Stir in the corned beef and cook for 1 minute. Add the carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Cook for a minute while stirring to combine.
Pour in the tomato sauce and banana ketchup and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the carrots are cooked. You may add a half cup of water if the sauce is getting too thick.
Grate half of the block of the cheese on top of the sauce and cook for another 1-2 minutes while stirring to melt the cheese completely.
Add the cooked spaghetti noodles and toss until completely covered in sauce. Transfer in a serving plate and add more grated cheese on top.

Notes

This recipe is only mildly sweet. You may add brown sugar if you prefer a much sweeter Filipino Spaghetti.

You may adjust the salt to your preference. Note however that pasta will still be added so I usually go for a little saltier sauce. Do not forget too that the cheese will add some saltiness as well.
