Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Fresh cilantro and chopped tomatoes for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
  4. Stir in taco seasoning, beef broth, and Rotel (with juices).
  5. Break spaghetti in half and stir into the pot.
  6. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese until melted.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro and tomatoes if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Feel free to use ground turkey or plant-based meat instead of beef. Add black beans or corn for extra texture.
