Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey (or plant-based alternative)
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro (or parsley)
Instructions
- Brown the Meat: In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned and crumbled, about five minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Add Flavor: Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and stir for one minute to release the spices' aroma.
- Toss in the Tomatoes: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juice) and beef broth. Stir well.
- Add the Pasta: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil before adding the spaghetti. Push it down to ensure it's submerged.
- Simmer Away: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about ten minutes or until pasta is tender but still al dente.
- Mix in Cheese: Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese until melted.
- Serve: Plate your One Pot Taco Spaghetti, drizzle with sour cream, and sprinkle with cilantro for garnish.
