Slow Cooker Taco Spaghetti
One night, while having a casual dinner at a friend’s house she served up yummy dish of taco spaghetti. To my surprise, my kids devoured it!
A few weeks later, as I was meal planning for the week I remembered the dish. So I decided to recreate the recipe in my slow cooker.
Keep in mind, not all slow cooker meals are cooked all day. Instead, this short cooking time type of recipe can be started in the afternoon and will be done at dinner time.
Serve the taco spaghetti sauce over cooked pasta that you have cooked on the stove-top. Easy!
You can top your slow cooker taco spaghetti with a little shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey jack or even pepper jack) to take it to the next level.
My kids loved this version as much as my friends original recipe and it is now on our meal plan pretty often!
