Ingredients
- 16 ounces Spaghetti Noodles 1 pound

- 3 cups Chicken Broth
- 14.5 ounces can Diced Tomatoes

Instructions
- Preheat 5 - 6 quart dutch oven at Med/High heat.
- Once it has heated up, add Cooking Oil, Ground Beef, and White Onion.
- Cook Beef and Onion mixture until Beef is browned, about 5-6 minutes, then drain any excess juices.
- Add Chicken Broth, Diced Tomatoes, Tomato Paste, Green Chiles, Taco Seasoning, Cumin, and Garlic Salt to the dutch oven, then stir well.
- Cover dutch oven and allow mixture to cook until it comes to a soft boil (approx. 7 minutes)
- Next, break Spaghetti Noodles in half, add to dutch oven, and stir well.
- Cover dutch oven, reduce heat to Medium, and allow Taco Spaghetti to simmer for 12 - 18 more minutes (stirring often) until pasta is tender and cooked to your preferences.
- Serve on plates or in bowls topped with shredded Mexican Cheese and fresh chopped Cilantro. Enjoy!
Notes
- How to Store Your Taco Spaghetti: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- How To Reheat Your Taco Spaghetti: When you're ready to enjoy, simply transfer to a microwave safe dish, cover with paper towels, and reheat for 30 seconds at a time (stirring each time) until hot. You can even add a little extra cheese on top for the last few seconds of microwaving. The more cheese the merrier, right?
