Add taco seasoning mix and water. Cook and stir until combined. Add in black beans, diced tomatoes and green chilies (and corn if desired) and heat through.
Add in salsa and 1 cup of the cheese.
In a large bowl toss the ground beef mixture with the cooked spaghetti.
Pour mixture into a prepared 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining cheese and return, uncovered, to the oven to bake for another 3-5 minutes to melt the cheese.
