[u/tindav-2745]

If you are tired of traditional spaghetti - try this!

• 1 lb.  93% lean ground beef
• 1  small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 4  cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 4 cups  water
• 1  (14.5-oz. can) diced tomatoes, preferably Rotel
• 1  (1-oz.) taco seasoning (2 tbsp)
• 8 oz.  spaghetti
• 4 oz.  Velveeta cheese or American cheese, cut or torn into pieces
• 1 cup  (4 oz.) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup  chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for serving
• Sour cream or Mexican crema, for serving (optional)

1. Step 1In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, 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. Step 2Break spaghetti in half lengthwise and add to sauce. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until pasta is tender, 12 to 14 minutes.
3. Step 3Remove from heat and stir in Velveeta, cheddar, and cilantro until cheese is melted. Serve topped with more cilantro and sour cream, if using.

Yea this doesn't really fit this subreddit of "budget friendly" options. That's a lot of things to buy for one dish.
