Now that we’ve distracted ourselves with deliciousness, here’s what you’ll need to pull off this party in a pan:

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef (or turkey, if you’re feeling healthy)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz, undrained and all that juicy goodness)
  • 2 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 8 ounces spaghetti (because who doesn’t love carbs?)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar is a classic; do your thing!)
  • 1 cup corn (frozen works, and who doesn’t love frozen veggies?)
  • Chopped green onions and cilantro for garnish (if you want to pretend you’re fancy)

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown your ground beef. Toss in the onions and garlic for a fragrant olfactory explosion!
  2. Once the beef is cooked through, sprinkle on the taco seasoning and mix well. Add the diced tomatoes and broth. Let that simmer and meld those flavors together.
  3. Now, bring that mixture to a boil and toss in the spaghetti. Stir it gently, letting the noodles dive into the flavorful sauce. Cover and cook until the noodles are al dente – a fancy way of saying “not too mushy!”
  4. When your pasta is just about cooked, stir in the corn and let everything cozy up for another minute or so. Because why not add a pop of color?
  5. Finally, sprinkle that glorious shredded cheese over the top and cover it again until it’s melted and bubbly – the perfect gooey cap to your delicious disaster!
