Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once it’s bubbling away, add the spaghetti and cook it according to the package instructions until al dente. In the meantime, cook the ground meat in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning and tomato sauce; let this simmer while the spaghetti finishes cooking. Once the spaghetti is ready, drain it and mix it into the skillet with the meat mixture, tossing everything together until well combined. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
