Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, undrained 14.5 ounces
  • 1 can rotel, undrained 10 ounces
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 8 ounces spaghetti uncooked
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup sour cream

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, Rotel, and water. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add the uncooked spaghetti to the skillet, breaking it in half if necessary to fit. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream until well combined and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve immediately. Optional toppings include: chopped cilantro, diced onions, salsa, or avocado.

Notes

This recipe is easily adaptable. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef, or add a can of drained black beans for extra protein and fiber.
