¾ cup shredded Mexican cheese

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Cook spaghetti noodles according to package directions.

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and saute onion for 2-3 minutes. Add ground meat of choice and cook through.

Season meat to taste with taco seasoning, stirring to combine. Add beans, diced tomatoes&amp; green chiles, salsa, and ¼ cup of cheese. Stir to integrate.

Transfer to a 13x9-inch baking or casserole dish and cover with remaining ½ cup of cheese.

Yummy! I will be making this again :) 

I decided to make this last minute and didn’t have some of the exact ingredients but I made it work. I don’t keep broth in the house so I used Better Than Bouillon paste and water; part Beef and part Chicken because I didn’t have enough Beef. I even added a bit more of the bouillon paste in the end to give the flavor an extra boost. It tasted great without the boost too though. I had just enough Cheddar but no Monterey Jack so I added Velveeta. I know, I know, some of y’all are probably cringing right now. But hey, it’s what I had lol! Next time I will make sure to have the proper cheeses for sure. I also used Cavatappi pasta since I was out of spaghetti. It all worked out and tasted really good! I loved only using one pot too.

I'd love to try this with ground turkey! My husband prefers it over regular meat.

All the flavors of taco in one pasta dish! Quick, easy, and delicious.

Such a satisfying dish! That is definitely a keeper.

What a fantastic recipe! Love this idea, thank you for sharing!

Loved this! So easy, tasted great - my kids asked me to make it again next week!

I have to try this immediately, absolutely love the idea of combining the flavor of tacos with a classic spaghetti dish! Looks nice and easy to make as well. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a fun taco Tuesday recipe that was different but nonetheless delicious!
