Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning, or more, to taste
  • 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes, with juice (do not drain)
  • 1 cup (259 g) chunky salsa, mild, medium, or hot
  • 16 ounces spaghetti
  • 4 cups (32 ounces / 960 g) beef broth
  • 1 cup (113 g) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a large Dutch oven or pot with a lid, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, or until the beef is browned. Drain any excess grease.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add taco seasoning and mix well to coat the meat.
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juice), salsa, and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Once boiling, add the spaghetti. Break it in half to fit into the pot if needed, arranging it in a crisscross pattern. Press the noodles under the liquid, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent sticking. Cover the pot after each stir.
  • Remove from heat and gradually stir in the Monterey Jack cheese, adding a little at a time until fully melted and smooth.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
