Start with Taco meat and cooked spaghetti. Mix Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, Velveeta, and cream of chicken soup into the skillet after the taco meat is fully cooked. Once all the cheese is melted, stir in the spaghetti. Once it is thoroughly mixed, place in a 9×9 baking dish and bake in the oven for 30 min.
Our family likes this dish so much that we double the recipe and bake in a 9×13 baking dish. It makes excellent leftovers.
Did you know you can make your own taco seasoning? This is what I use.
Worried about the spice? Use the mild Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies.
Can you make Taco Spaghetti ahead of time?
I have not made the whole recipe ahead of time.
That being said, I have browned the meat the day before to help cut some time out. It will heat back up when you cook the taco seasoning into the meat.
How to store leftover Taco Spaghetti?
Once the taco spaghetti has fully cooled, store any leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. It is recommended to consume leftovers within 3 days. Make sure to inspect and reheat all leftovers before consuming.
