Description

This dish combines the bold flavors of tacos with the comforting appeal of spaghetti. Made in a slow cooker, it’s an easy, hands-off recipe that’s perfect for a crowd-pleasing dinner.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning)
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies (or plain diced tomatoes)
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 3 cups chicken broth (or beef broth)
  • 8 oz spaghetti, broken in half
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or your favorite blend)
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sour cream, avocado, or salsa (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  • Cook the Ground Beef:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
    • Stir in the taco seasoning and mix well.
  • Assemble the Crockpot:
    • Add the cooked beef mixture to the crockpot.
    • Stir in the Rotel tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth.
  • Cook the Sauce:
    • Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the Spaghetti:
    • Stir the broken spaghetti into the crockpot, making sure the noodles are submerged in the liquid.
    • Cover and cook on high for another 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the spaghetti is tender.
  • Add the Cheese:
    • Stir in the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses until melted and creamy.
  • Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions.
    • Serve warm with optional toppings like sour cream, avocado slices, or salsa.

Notes

  • Spaghetti Doneness: Check the spaghetti frequently while cooking to avoid overcooking.
  • Add Veggies: For extra nutrition, toss in diced bell peppers, corn, or black beans.
  • Adjust Spice: Use mild or hot Rotel and taco seasoning to control the heat level.
  • Make It Creamy: Stir in 1/2 cup of cream cheese for a creamy twist.
