# Ingredients:

→ Main

01 - 1 pound spaghetti noodles
02 - 2 pounds ground beef
03 - 0.5 yellow onion, diced
04 - 1 bell pepper, diced
05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
06 - 1 packet taco seasoning
07 - 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilis, undrained
08 - 1 cup sour cream
09 - 1 cup beef broth
10 - 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

# Steps:

01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, sauté for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are softened. Add ground beef to the pan, cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
03 - Return the beef and vegetable mixture to the skillet. Stir in taco seasoning, canned diced tomatoes with green chilis (including their juice), beef broth, sour cream, and shredded Mexican blend cheese. Mix thoroughly and simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is creamy and the cheese is melted.
04 - Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet. Toss gently to ensure the pasta is evenly coated in the taco sauce.
05 - Dish out the taco spaghetti while hot. Optionally, garnish with chopped cilantro or additional Mexican blend cheese as desired.

# Notes:

01 - For extra heat, incorporate diced jalapeños or use a spicy taco seasoning blend.
