How To Make Taco Spaghetti:

Step 1: Brown Meat: Heat the 1 Tbsp olive oil in a deep-sided skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the 1 1/2 lbs ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain away any excess liquid.

Step 2: Add Seasoning: Place the 1 Can Rotel, 1 Packet taco seasoning, and 2 Tbsp tomato paste into the skillet with the meat and stir to combine well.

Step 3: Add Liquid and Pasta: Pour the 3 Cups of water into the skillet. Break the 8 oz spaghetti in half before adding it as well. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 4: Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the spaghetti is cooked to your liking.

Step 5: Finish with Cheese: Pour off any excess liquid remaining in the skillet. Sprinkle the 1 Cup of taco blend shredded cheese on top of the mixture, put the lid back on, and allow the cheese to melt (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 6: Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped tomato and green onion if desired before serving.
