INGREDIENTS
1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 (1.25-oz.) package taco seasoning
1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 Roma tomato, diced
8 oz. spaghetti
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 (10-oz. can) Ro*Tel® Mild Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies
HOW TO MAKE ONE-POT TACO SPAGHETTI
Step 1: In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beef to the pot and cook for approximately 3 to 5 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking the meat as it cooks. Then, stir in the taco seasoning. When done, drain the excess grease.
Step 2: To the pot, add the Ro*Tel®, tomato paste, spaghetti, and 3 cups water. Stir, then bring to a boil. Put the lid on and adjust the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 13 to 16 minutes until the pasta is cooked through.
Step 3: When done, take the pot off the heat, then top the taco spaghetti with cheese. Cover again for about 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
Step 4: If desired, garnish with tomato and cilantro. Serve right away. Enjoy!
