A delightful one-pan dish combining the flavors of tacos and spaghetti for a quick and satisfying meal.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Break up the meat into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Cook the vegetables until they are tender and fragrant for the best flavor.
Stir in the taco seasoning and tomato sauce, mixing well.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for a consistent taste.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the spaghetti, breaking it in half if necessary, and submerge it in the liquid.
Ensure the spaghetti is fully covered by the liquid for even cooking.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer until the spaghetti is tender, stirring occasionally.
Check the spaghetti occasionally to ensure it doesn't overcook.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and let it melt before serving.
Cover the skillet briefly to help the cheese melt evenly.
Serve the dish hot and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.
