Ingredients

Scale

Ground Beef

For this recipe, you will need one pound of ground beef. This ingredient provides the base protein and gives the dish its hearty flavor. When browning the beef, it’s essential to drain excess fat to keep the dish from becoming greasy.

Onion

You will need one medium onion, finely chopped. The onion adds sweetness and depth to the taco flavor profile. It also enhances the overall aroma of the dish as it cooks in the slow cooker.

Bell Pepper

One bell pepper (any color) should be diced for added texture and sweetness. The bell pepper complements the other ingredients while providing an appealing crunch.

Taco Seasoning

Use two tablespoons of taco seasoning for authentic flavor. You can use store-bought seasoning or create your own blend with spices like chili powder, cumin, and paprika. This seasoning is what truly brings out that classic taco taste.

Tomato Sauce

For moisture and flavor, add 15 ounces of tomato sauce. This ingredient binds everything together while adding richness to your sauce. A good quality tomato sauce enhances the overall taste.

Diced Tomatoes

Incorporate one can (14 ounces) of diced tomatoes into your mixture for acidity and texture. These tomatoes offer a burst of freshness that balances well with other flavors in the dish.

Pasta

You will need 8 ounces of uncooked spaghetti or any pasta of your choice. Adding it directly into the slow cooker allows it to absorb all those delicious flavors while cooking.

Cheddar Cheese

Top off your CrockPot Taco Spaghetti with one cup of shredded cheddar cheese before serving. This cheesy layer adds creaminess and enhances the overall appeal of this comforting meal.
