Ingredients
- lb Ground Beef (turkey, chicken or sausage will also work)
- 1 Yellow Onion, Diced
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, diced
- 2 Packets or 2 oz Taco Seasoning
- (2) 10 oz Cans of Rotel (any flavor)
- 1 lb Spaghetti, broken in half unless it fits in your pan
- 5 Cups Beef Broth
- 4 oz Velveeta Cheese or you can use cream cheese
- 4 oz Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 4 oz Grated Pepper Jack Cheese
- 1/2 Cup Milk
- Any toppings you like, such as jalapenos, green onions, cilantro, hot sauce, crushed up Doritos, etc
Instructions
- Place a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and diced green bell pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and the vegetables are softened, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed
- Stir in the taco seasoning until the beef mixture is evenly coated. Add the Rotel and mix well.
- Add the broken spaghetti noodles and pour in the beef broth. Stir gently, making sure the noodles are mostly covered with liquid.
- Put the lid on and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the pasta doesn't stick together.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the Velveeta, sharp cheddar, pepper jack, and milk. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- (If you find it to be too thick, add extra milk or even a little water until you get the consistency you want!)
- Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
