🧾 Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 1 can diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese
- 1/2 cup water
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
👩🍳 Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente according to package directions. Drain and set aside. - Brown the beef
In a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease. - Season it up
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef. Add the water and stir well. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes so the flavors soak in. - Add the sauce
Stir in diced tomatoes (with juice) and tomato sauce. Season lightly with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened. - Combine & cheese
Add the cooked spaghetti directly into the skillet. Toss until fully coated. Sprinkle cheese on top, cover, and let it melt for 2–3 minutes. - Serve hot
Stir once more and serve warm, cheesy, and irresistible!
🔥 Cooking Methods & Variations
- One-Pot Method: Skip boiling the pasta separately. Add dry spaghetti, tomatoes, sauce, and extra water (about 1½ cups) directly to the beef. Simmer until pasta is tender.
- Baked Taco Spaghetti: Transfer to a baking dish, top with extra cheese, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes.
- Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños, chili flakes, or hot taco seasoning.
- Creamy Version: Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream or cream cheese at the end.
