Helpful Tips to make One-Pot Taco Spaghetti:
- I use lean ground beef but you are welcome to use your fav: ground turkey, ground sausage etc., even chopped chicken will work great!
- I use 1 tablespoon beef bouillon which is the equivalent of 3 beef bouillon cubes. I use beef bouillon as it is less expensive than beef broth but you are welcome to substitute 3 cups of the water with 3 cups low sodium beef broth and omit the beef bouillon.
- We break our spaghetti pieces in half so they can be fully emerged in the water. Break all your pieces in half before you starting to add them to the pot so they will cook more evenly.
- It is important to stir the spaghetti occasionally then replace the lid because we don’t want the spaghetti to stick to the bottom and we want the spaghetti to cook evenly. Replacing the lid keeps the water from evaporating too quickly.
- There are variables in the exact amount of water needed to cook our spaghetti such as how often the lid is removed, how hot the liquid is simmering, etc., but the required liquid should be very close to the 5 ¾ cups listed. If you find the liquid is all absorbed by the spaghetti before it is al dente, then simply add more water, a little at a time until the spaghetti is cooked through. It is normal for there to be some water remaining when the spaghetti is cooked because this melts with the cheese helping to coat our spaghetti.
- This One Pot Taco Spaghetti cooks in roughly 12-15 minutes after the water starts to boil. As with all pastas, you are going to want to start checking for doneness at the earlier 12 minute mark, because there is nothing worse in than soggy pasta for dinner!
What you will need to make One-Pot Taco Spaghetti:
- Large Soup Pot or Dutch Oven – this is essential in this recipe as we are cooking everything in one pot – so it needs to fit into one pot with ease so there is enough movement for the pasta and the water to boil along with all the other ingredients.
- Cheese Grater - this kitchen tool gets more love than almost any other tool in my kitchen because I am a huge proponent of FRESHLY grated cheese as opposed to bagged shredded cheeses. Using freshly grated cheeses saves money, tastes better, and MELTS better. In this One Pot Spaghetti Pasta, you really want a good melting cheese.
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
