Taco Spaghetti combines the comforting goodness of spaghetti with the bold and spicy flavors of tacos. This unique dish brings together two family favorites in one incredible meal, with rich taco seasoning, savory meat, and melty cheese.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 onion, chopped

1 packet taco seasoning

8 oz spaghetti

1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup water

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Serve hot with optional toppings like sour cream and sliced green onions for garnish.
