Taco Spaghetti 🌮🍝

Serves: 6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix (or homemade taco seasoning)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel)
  • 8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 8 oz (half a box) spaghetti noodles
  • 1½ cups water (or chicken broth)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese (optional for topping)
  • Sour cream, for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions, chopped (optional)
  • Taco toppings like salsa, jalapeños, or avocado slices (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti noodles according to package directions until al dente (usually around 8-9 minutes).
  2. Drain the spaghetti and set it aside.

Step 2: Brown the Beef

  1. While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 lb ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon.
  2. Drain any excess grease from the pan.

Step 3: Add Taco Flavors

  1. To the browned beef, stir in the taco seasoning packet and 1½ cups water (or chicken broth). Simmer for about 3-5 minutes to combine the flavors and thicken the mixture slightly.
  2. Add the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and can of cream of chicken soup to the beef mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 4: Add Velveeta Cheese

  1. Once the taco-flavored sauce is well mixed, add the cubed 8 oz Velveeta cheese to the skillet. Stir frequently over medium heat until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
  2. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more water or broth to reach your desired consistency.

Step 5: Combine with Pasta

  1. Toss the cooked spaghetti into the skillet with the taco-cheese mixture, stirring until the pasta is fully coated with the sauce.

Step 6: Optional Toppings and Baking

  1. If you like your taco spaghetti extra cheesy, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top and place the skillet under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  2. Garnish with optional toppings like sour cream, chopped cilantro, or green onions.

Enjoy!

This Taco Spaghetti is a cheesy, comforting dish that’s packed with bold taco flavors. Serve with a side of tortilla chips or a fresh salad for the perfect meal.
