Taco Spaghetti is a 30 minutes meal that combines seasoned ground beef, tomatoes, and taco seasoning with spaghetti and melted cheese.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 pound Lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup Chopped onion
- 1 Garlic clove minced
- 1 ounce Package taco seasoning
- 10 ounces Canned tomatoes with chiles undrained
- 8 ounces Spaghetti noodles uncooked
- 3 cups Water
- 3 cups Shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 1/2 cup Chopped cilantro divided
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add ground beef and chopped onion, cooking until fully cooked and no longer pink.
- Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Drain excess fat and return the meat mixture to the pan. Add taco seasoning, tomatoes, spaghetti noodles, and water.
- Bring to a boil, cover, then reduce heat to a slow simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

- Sprinkle the remaining cheese and cilantro on top.
- Serve with desired toppings.
Notes
While it's best eaten fresh, you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a bit of water, if needed to loosen things up.
