Ingredients

Scale

Ground Beef

For this recipe, you’ll need 1 pound of ground beef. Ground beef adds richness and protein to your meal. Opt for lean beef to keep it healthier while still delivering great flavor.

Onion

You will also need 1 medium onion, diced. Onions bring sweetness and depth to the dish. Sauté them until translucent for optimal flavor before adding them to the slow cooker.

Bell Pepper

Include 1 bell pepper, chopped. A bell pepper adds crunch and color while providing vitamins. You can choose any color you prefer—red, green, or yellow all work well.

Garlic

Use 3 cloves of garlic, minced. Garlic enhances the overall flavor profile of the dish with its aromatic qualities. Fresh garlic is best for maximum taste.

Taco Seasoning

Add 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning mix. This seasoning blends spices like cumin and chili powder to give your spaghetti that authentic taco flavor. You can use store-bought or make your own.

Crushed Tomatoes

Incorporate 1 can (15 ounces) of crushed tomatoes. They add moisture and tanginess to the dish while also forming a lovely sauce base for your spaghetti.

Tomato Sauce

You’ll need 1 can (8 ounces) of tomato sauce as well. Tomato sauce complements the crushed tomatoes and creates a thicker consistency that holds everything together nicely.

Pasta

Choose 2 cups of uncooked spaghetti. The pasta absorbs all those delicious flavors during cooking and provides heartiness to the meal.

Cheese

For serving, use shredded cheese like cheddar or Mexican blend (about 1 cup). Cheese adds creaminess and a savory layer when melted on top before serving.
