Taco Spaghetti

Ingredients:

2 pounds of ground beef (hamburger), cooked and drained

Taco seasoning, to taste

4 ounces of tomato paste

10 ounces of Rotel tomatoes (canned tomatoes with green chilies)

2 cups of water

Half a pack of spaghetti noodles

Shredded cheese (for topping and mixing in)

Instructions:




Cook and Drain Ground Beef:

In a large skillet or pan, cook 2 pounds of ground beef over medium heat until browned.

Drain any excess fat.

Season the Beef:

Add taco seasoning to the cooked and drained ground beef. The amount can vary based on your taste preferences. Stir well to coat the meat with the seasoning.

Add Tomato Paste:

Stir in 4 ounces of tomato paste. This will add richness and depth of flavor to the dish.

Incorporate Rotel Tomatoes:

Add 10 ounces of Rotel tomatoes to the skillet. Rotel tomatoes typically contain diced tomatoes with green chilies, adding a bit of spice and flavor.

Pour in Water:

Add 2 cups of water to the skillet. This will help create a sauce for the spaghetti and blend all the flavors together.

Break Spaghetti Noodles:

Break half a pack of spaghetti noodles into smaller pieces and add them to the skillet. The noodles will cook in the flavorful sauce.

Bring to a Boil:

Mix all the ingredients together and bring the mixture to a boil. This will help the spaghetti noodles start cooking.

Reduce Heat and Cover:

Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the skillet. Allow it to cook until the spaghetti noodles are done. The cooking time may vary, so check the package instructions for the spaghetti as a reference.

Top with Shredded Cheese:

Once the spaghetti noodles are cooked, top the dish with shredded cheese. You can use your favorite type of cheese.

Mix in the Cheese:

Allow the shredded cheese to melt into the hot taco spaghetti mixture. Stir it in until the cheese is fully melted and well combined.

Serve:

Serve the Taco Spaghetti hot, with additional toppings if desired, such as sour cream, chopped green onions, or cilantro.

Enjoy your Taco Spaghetti! It’s a flavorful and comforting meal that’s sure to be a hit, especially with your hubby. 😋
