Instructions

  1. In a large pot or skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess grease.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning, ensuring the beef is fully coated. Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and beef broth, mixing well.
  3. Break the spaghetti in half and add it directly to the pot, ensuring it’s submerged in the liquid. Cover and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spaghetti is tender and the sauce thickens.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover, and let it melt for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat, garnish with your favorite taco toppings, and serve warm.

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
Add crunch by sprinkling crushed tortilla chips or chopped bell peppers over the top.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat with a splash of broth to loosen the sauce.
Spice lovers can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños for extra heat.
