Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 TBSP minced garlic
  • 1/2 chopped bell pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp each of cumin and dried cilantro
  • 1 10 oz can Rotel diced tomatoes & green Chilies
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 8 oz spaghetti
  • 1 cup cubed white queso blanco

Instructions

  • Get your skillet over medium heat and add in your ground beef to let it start to brown.
  • Next, you're going to add a chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and let that cook until the veggies start to soften.
  • Drain any excess grease from the pan and season with taco seasoning and minced garlic. You can use a taco seasoning packet or the seasonings I have listed above.
  • Add a can of Rotel (Diced tomatoes with green chiles) and the beef broth to the skillet.
  • Stir that well and add 8 oz of spaghetti. Use a spatula to push the pasta down into the liquid. Be sure the spaghetti is completely covered in the beef broth.
  • Bring that to a boil, lower the heat, and let cook 12-15 minutes stirring at least once to make sure the spaghetti doesn’t all stick together.
  • Once the spaghetti is cooked add 1 cup of cubed Velveeta and stir well.
  • Enjoy!!
