Units
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 8 oz uncooked spaghetti
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: sour cream, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, chopped onion, and bell pepper. Cook until beef is browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add taco seasoning and mix well. Cook for another 2 minutes.
- Transfer the beef mixture to the crockpot. Add diced tomatoes with green chilies, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir to combine.
- Break spaghetti in half and add to the crockpot, stirring to submerge the noodles in the liquid.
- Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until spaghetti is tender, stirring once or twice during cooking.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover until melted, about 5-10 minutes.
- Serve hot with desired toppings.
Notes
- Stirring once or twice during cooking helps prevent the noodles from clumping.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Add black beans or corn for extra texture and flavor.
