A quick and easy spaghetti dinner with a tasty taco beef sauce!
ingredients
- 8 ounces spaghetti (gluten-free or gluten-free)
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (4 ounce) can of diced green chilies
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce (gluten-free or tamari for gluten-free) (optional)
- 1 cup cheese (cheddar and/or monterey jack, mozzarella, etc.), shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional)
directions
- Start cooking the pasta as directed on the package.
- Cook the beef and onion in a large pan over medium-high heat, before optionally draining off any grease.*
- Add the garlic and taco seasoning, mix, and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the tomatoes, green chilies, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce, bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, add the cheese, mix, and let it melt into the sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste before mixing in the cooked and drained pasta and cilantro and enjoy!
Note: *When using a fattier ground beef I cook the beef first, drain the grease, and then add the onions to cook. When using leaner beef I cook the onions with the beef to save time.
Option: Add 1 diced jalapeno along with the onion.
Option: Add 2 tablespoons tomato paste with the garlic.
Option: Add 1 (14.5 ounce can) black beans, rinsed and drained.
Option: Add 4 ounces sour cream, or cream cheese, or heavy/whipping cream, along with the cheese, for a creamy version!
Option: Serve garnished with your favourite taco toppings!
