Taco Spaghetti Recipe

[EternalVoyager]

Hello everyone! Have you ever experimented with combining two favorite dishes into one? How about trying taco spaghetti? I found a recipe online that's definitely worth giving a shot!

Ingredients

• 1 lb. 93% lean ground beef
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 4 c. water
• 1 (14.5-oz. can) diced tomatoes, preferably Rotel
• 1 (1-oz.) packet or 2 tbsp. homemade taco seasoning
• 8 oz. spaghetti
• 4 oz. Velveeta cheese or American cheese, cut or torn into pieces
• 1 c. (4 oz.) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 c. chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for serving
• Sour cream or Mexican crema, for serving (optional)

Directions​

Step 1
In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add water, tomatoes, and taco seasoning, then cover and bring to a boil.
Step 2
Break spaghetti in half lengthwise and add to sauce. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until pasta is tender, 12 to 14 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from heat and stir in Velveeta, cheddar, and cilantro until cheese is melted. Serve topped with more cilantro and sour cream, if using.

Good Luck!

Hey there, @EternalVoyager ! This certainly sounds like a well-matched combination! For me taco spaghetti is a new thing, but if it sounds tasty I will try it without doubt.

I've never thought about combining tacos and spaghetti before, but now I'm super intrigued. The ingredients look pretty straightforward too, which is a plus. I'm definitely going to give this a try!
