Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup yellow onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup taco seasoning (or 1 packet)
- 1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes (do not drain)
- 8 oz spaghetti noodles (uncooked)
- 3 cups water
- 4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onions. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are softened.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and Rotel tomatoes (with juices). Mix well.
- Add the uncooked spaghetti noodles to the skillet, then pour in 3 cups of water. Stir to combine.

- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra spice, use Rotel tomatoes with green chilies.
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat for a healthier twist.
