Instructions

Brown the ground beef over medium heat in a cast iron skillet until cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilis, tomato sauce, and water. Stir and bring to a boil.
Add the spaghetti noodles and stir briefly. Reduce heat to low.
Cover the skillet with foil and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and allow it to melt.
Top with halved cherry tomatoes and diced green onion before serving.

Notes

Swap ground beef for turkey or chicken for a lighter option.

Add diced jalapeños or hot taco seasoning for extra heat.

Mix in black beans or corn for added texture.

Stir in a scoop of sour cream for a creamier sauce.
