1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
15 ounces tomato sauce
4 cups water

Tips

  • To make the perfect Fiesta Spaghetti, use a large pot or Dutch oven to ensure that the pasta has enough room to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot with pasta. If you add too much pasta, it will not cook evenly and will become mushy.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Be sure to stir it occasionally to prevent it from sticking together.
  • While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Add the taco seasoning, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and water to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
  • For a more flavorful sauce, use a combination of ground beef and ground sausage.
  • Add some chopped bell peppers or onions to the sauce for a more colorful dish.
  • For a spicier sauce, add a teaspoon or two of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve Fiesta Spaghetti with a side of garlic bread or a tossed salad.

Conclusion

Fiesta Spaghetti is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover ground beef. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
