Step‑by‑Step Instructions for One-Pot Taco Spaghetti
  1. In a large skillet or pan, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned.
  2. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the browned beef and stir well to coat all the meat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, drained black beans, corn, and beef broth. Stir all together.
  4. Bring the mixture to a lively boil over medium-high heat. Once bubbling, add spaghetti and push it down gently until submerged.
  5. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce heat to low, allowing the spaghetti to simmer for 12-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and evenly sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Cover for 2-3 minutes to let the cheese melt.
  7. Serve hot with optional toppings like sour cream, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro.
