  • 2 cups shredded cheese (sharp)
  • Topping: Sour cream (cilantro, etc. (optional))

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet on the stove, heat on medium-high and cook your ground beef. I did season with salt and pepper, but this is optional.

    Add in the diced onion when the ground beef is mostly cooked. Finish cooking until the meat is fully cooked then drain off grease.

    Pour in the water, and then break spaghetti noodles in half and place in skillet.

    Cover the pasta with water, by pushing it down gently into the water. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  6. 6

    Once the taco spaghetti mixture is boiling reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until the pasta is done.

  7. 7

    When the spaghetti is done I stir in 1 cup of cheese to give it a creamy texture.

  8. 8

    Then serve with cilantro, more cheese, and sour cream, or serve the taco spaghetti plain.
