Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion diced, small
- 1 taco seasoning packet
- 1 can 10 oz Rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 1 can 15 oz tomato sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 8 oz spaghetti broken in half, uncooked
- 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup cream cheese optional, for extra creaminess
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cilantro for garnish, optional, chopped, fresh
Instructions
Step No.1: Brown the Beef
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain any excess grease.
Step No.2: Add to Crockpot
- Transfer the cooked beef mixture to the crockpot. Stir in the taco seasoning, Rotel tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, salt, and pepper.
Step No.3: Slow Cook the Sauce
- Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step No.4: Add Spaghetti
- Add the broken spaghetti directly into the sauce. Stir well to coat the noodles. Cover and cook for another 20-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until pasta is tender.
Step No.5: Add Cheese and Creaminess
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese (if using) until melted and fully incorporated.
Step No.6: Serve and Garnish
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, extra cheese, or a dollop of sour cream!
Notes
- Pasta Cooking Tip: If you prefer firmer pasta, cook it separately and stir it in at the end.
- Spiciness Level: Use mild, medium, or hot Rotel based on spice preference.
- Cheese Choices: Swap cheddar for pepper jack or Mexican blend cheese for extra flavor.
- Chicken Taco Spaghetti: Use shredded rotisserie chicken instead of ground beef.
- Vegetarian Option: Swap ground beef for black beans or lentils.
- Extra Creamy Version: Stir in ½ cup sour cream before serving.
- One-Pot Stove Method: Cook the beef in a deep pan, add sauce ingredients, simmer, then cook spaghetti directly in the sauce.
- Loaded Taco Spaghetti: Top with diced avocado, crushed tortilla chips, or jalapeños.
