taco spaghetti

Taco Spaghetti is fast, easy, and comes together in 30 minutes or less - all in one pot. The juice from the tomatoes and the added liquid cooks the spaghetti to perfection and creates its own taco-seasoned sauce. Tasty, satisfying, and delicious, you can even make baked spaghetti pie with the leftovers. That is, if you have any!

Try Taco Spaghetti for a delicious fusion of flavors. One pot, taco-seasoned beef, and melted cheese make it irresistible!

yellow onion, (diced (about 1 cup))

garlic, (minced)

taco seasoning, (or more, to taste)

(10 ounces) diced tomatoes, (with juice (do not drain))

(259 g) chunky salsa, (mild, medium, or hot)

beef broth

(113 g) Monterey Jack cheese, (shredded)

cilantro, (chopped (for garnish))

Cook ground beef and onion.

In a large Dutch oven or pot with a lid, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, or until the beef is browned. Drain any excess grease.

Stir in garlic. Add taco seasoning.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add taco seasoning and mix well to coat the meat.

Pour in tomatoes, salsa, and beef broth. Bring to boil.

Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juice), salsa, and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Add spaghetti. Cook.

Once boiling, add the spaghetti. Break it in half to fit into the pot if needed, arranging it in a crisscross pattern. Press the noodles under the liquid, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent sticking. Cover the pot after each stir.

Garnish and serve.

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

We made this tonight. It was so good. We made it in both beef and turkey since one of our kiddos prefers turkey over beef. Both were delicious. Thank you, Amanda, for the recipe

This was fantastic! Made exactly as directed with a whole package of taco seasoning and everyone raved about it! Will be on my rotation for sure!!!!!!!

OK.....I think this would be fantastic as is but like with everything I cook, I add extra ingredients,
I added extra garlic, because why not and I'm 2% Italian plus a can of black beans rinsed, a can of corn drained. Oh, I also used a can of hot Rotel cause my roommate lives for hot food.
Soooooo quick and easy to make too!
This is a keeper and I know I'll be making this many many many more times in my future. Highly recommend!!!

I've already made Taco Spaghetti so many times I lost count for me and roommate I  have suggested it to friends and family to my surprise they haven't made it yet. I tell them it only takes 30 minutes to make. They say it looks good with recipe I've sent them. I can't wait to hear someone made.

Made it and its delicious. super easy and I am def making again

This was a great recipe. I added a little more onion and red bell pepper and extra taco seasoning. We like the extra vegetables in everything, But this was one of the best dishes I've had in ages. Thanks!

That's really good I make mine with some Cajun seasoning also I 'm from Mississippi and it makes it very flavorful.

Just made it and waiting on the hubby to get a plate. 
It was easy to put together. Taste great!

My husband and son absolutely love this.  They asked for it two days after the first time I made it and ask for it every week since. I love it because it is simple and quick to make and creates simple-to-heat-up leftovers. I have a wheat allergy and am going to try it with spaghetti squash today.

Made this 4 days ago and my guys were fighting over the leftovers. I had to make it again today!  Definitely a hit.  I added the sauce to Rice Ramen Noodles since I have a wheat allergy and it was fantastic!

This was a excellent recipe. Family really liked it.

Wife and I loved it. We added more rotel, cayenne, salt, and garlic powder and it really took off with flavor!

This looks so good, I’m going to make this. Thanks for sharing
