Taco Pasta Bake (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
02 - 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel tomatoes, undrained
03 - 3 cups water
04 - 8 ounces spaghetti noodles, uncooked
05 - 1/4 cup taco seasoning or 1 packet
06 - 1 pound ground beef
07 - 4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
08 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
09 - 1/4 cup yellow onion, finely chopped

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Right before dishing up, toss on the rest of the cheese and finish with some chopped cilantro.
02 - Take the skillet off the heat and stir in half the shredded cheddar so it melts into everything.
03 - Turn the heat to high to start things boiling. Then drop it low, put the lid on, and let everything simmer for about 15 minutes. Most of the water should be gone and your noodles will be soft.
04 - Throw the taco seasoning, undrained tomatoes, uncooked spaghetti, and water into the skillet. Give it a solid stir.
05 - Start by warming up olive oil in your skillet at medium. Toss in the ground beef plus diced onion, cooking until the beef turns brown and onions get soft.

# Additional Tips:

01 - If you can, shred your own cheddar for perfect meltiness.
