Taco Spaghetti is a bold, creamy, Tex-Mex mashup that brings together all the cozy comfort of pasta with the irresistible flavors of a classic taco night. It’s rich, cheesy, satisfying, and ready in just about 30 minutes—making it the perfect weeknight dinner when you want something fun, flavorful, and family-friendly. Every twirl of spaghetti is coated in a silky, taco-spiced sauce that turns simple ingredients into a warm, hearty meal.
The base begins with sautéed onion and browned ground beef, creating that familiar, savory taco aroma. Once the taco seasoning, Rotel, beef broth, and cream hit the skillet, the sauce transforms into a luscious blend that’s both creamy and packed with southwest flavor. Tossing the spaghetti into this velvety, chili-speckled sauce ensures every strand is coated. A final blanket of melty cheese ties the whole dish together with irresistible richness.
