ONE POT TACO SPAGHETTI

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onions
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 (1-oz) packet taco seasoning
  • 1 (14-oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups water
  • 8 oz uncooked spaghetti 
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a very large skillet, add garlic, onions and ground beef. Cook until ground beef has browned, crumbling the ground beef as you cook it. Drain out excess fat.
  • Sprinkle taco seasoning across beef. Add entire contents of the canned tomatoes (you don’t want to drain the liquid), water and spaghetti.
  • Bring mixture to a boil. Push spaghetti in so that it is submerged under the liquid. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover skillet. Cook for about 15 minutes or until spaghetti is cooked. Occasionally stir a few times during the 15 minutes to make sure everything is well mixed and spaghetti stays submerged.
  • When spaghetti is done, remove lid. Cook for about 1 minute with the lid off to reduce down the remaining liquid. Then turn off heat.
  • Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover with lid to allow the cheese to melt (about 2-5 minutes).
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.
