Ingredients

  • 500g lean beef mince
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1L water
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 packet or 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 8 oz (225g) spaghetti
  • 4 oz (115g) Velveeta cheese or American cheese, cut/torn into pieces
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
    • Alternatively, use 5 oz (140g) cheddar for all cheese
  • Handful chopped coriander, plus more for serving
  • Sour cream, for serving

Method

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook beef mince, onion, and garlic, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned (5 to 6 minutes). Add water, tomatoes, and taco seasoning, then cover and bring to a boil.
  2. Break spaghetti in half lengthwise and add to sauce. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until pasta is tender (12 to 14 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in Velveeta, cheddar, and coriander until cheese is melted. Serve topped with more coriander and sour cream, if using.
