Taco Spaghetti
Turn up the flavor on spaghetti night with this delicious taco spaghetti casserole! This easy, one-skillet recipe is ready in just 40 minutes from start to finish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 1/4 ounce taco seasoning
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilis canned
- 8 ounces tomato sauce canned
- 2 1/2 cups of water
- 8 ounces spaghetti noodles broken in half
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ pint cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 green onion diced
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef over medium heat in a cast iron skillet, until done. (if you’re using lean meat, no need to drain fat - but if not, you will want to drain the fat)
- Add the taco seasoning, Roten, tomato sauce, and water. Stir, and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add the spaghetti to the mixture,give it a quick stir, then reduce the heat to low.
- Cover with foil, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring about halfway through.
- Sprinkle the cheese all over the skillet, and allow to cook for just a few minutes to melt the cheese.
- Chop the tomatoes and dice the green onions, then sprinkle over the casserole, and serve.
Notes
Simmer covered with a lid or foil, but stir occasionally. Covering the skillet speeds up the cooking time, while stirring prevents the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
