OK, so were back on Facebook again and someone posts a recipe. I found the posted recipe was bit overwhelming and had ingredients that may be hard to find. So I "took it down" a notch.
If you make one recipe this year, this has got to be it. When Tonya says that I can make the recipe again, that's her seal of approval.
It is really easy to make too.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef1 package taco seasoning
1 10 ounce can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
8 ounces spaghetti
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Stuff you will need
Dutch ovenColander
Large Spoon
Cheese shredder if you didn't buy shredded cheese
Directions
Put water to boil in the dutch oven.Once the water was boiling, I took a hand full of spaghetti and broke it into 1/4 the length. I cooked the spaghetti till it was done to my liking.
Drain the cooked spaghetti in the colander. Leave the spaghetti in the colander for now.
Add ground beef to the dutch oven and cook until beef has browned, about 10 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks.
Lower the heat to low and add the taco seasoning. Continue to cook the ground beef.
Add the diced tomatoes and the tomato paste. PRO TIP, if you don't have tomato paste, you can substitute ketchup. Stir that all together.
Add the cheeses and stir that around.
Add the spaghetti. Turn the heat off. Cover until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
Serve right away.
This recipe can easily be doubled if you have a larger family. The picture above, the recipe is doubled. I always cook to have left overs. We used to have 4 kids at home and I always cook to feed a small army.
Be prepared to receive a lot of compliments. There will be a ton of "nom nom nom" sounds coming from everyone's mouth.
Comments and suggestions are ALWAYS welcome!
