Ingredients
Method
Cooking Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti noodles and cook until just al dente (about 1–2 minutes less than package directions). Drain and set aside.
Browning the Meat
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease if needed.
Adding Aromatics & Seasoning
- Stir in the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Sprinkle in taco seasoning and stir well.
Building the Sauce
- Pour in diced tomatoes, tomatoes with green chilies, beef broth, and tomato sauce. Stir and bring to a gentle boil.
Combining Pasta & Sauce
- Add the drained spaghetti to the sauce. Reduce heat to low, toss to coat the pasta evenly, and let it simmer for 3–4 minutes so flavors meld.
Making it Creamy
- Stir in sour cream and half of the shredded cheese until melted and creamy.
Topping & Serving
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, cover, and let sit for 1–2 minutes until melted. Garnish with your favorite toppings and serve hot.
Notes
Leftovers last for about 3-4 days in the fridge. Can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove until warmed through. To enhance flavor, toast the garlic before adding to the recipe.
