Taco Spaghetti Casserole

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Taco Spaghetti Casserole.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a large baking dish a light greasing to ensure everything bakes beautifully.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a large pot and fill it with lightly salted water.

3. Step 3

   Bring it to a rolling boil, then add in the spaghetti.

4. Step 4

   Cook it according to the package instructions until it reaches that perfect al dente texture, which usually takes about 12 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Once done, drain the spaghetti and gently transfer it to your prepared baking dish, letting it settle comfortably.

6. Step 6

   Next, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef.

7. Step 7

   Stir it frequently, breaking it apart as it cooks, until it’s nicely browned and no longer pink—this should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Don’t forget to drain any excess grease to keep your dish from becoming too oily.

9. Step 9

   Now, stir in the taco seasoning along with a splash of water, letting it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens up nicely.

10. Step 10

    Then, add the drained corn and taco sauce, cooking everything together until it’s heated through, which should take another 5 minutes.

11. Step 11

    In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese.

12. Step 12

    Mix it all together until it’s creamy and well blended.

13. Step 13

    Spread this delicious mixture evenly over the spaghetti in your baking dish, creating a rich layer of flavor.

14. Step 14

    Next, layer the seasoned beef mixture over the creamy goodness, and then sprinkle the remaining cup of Cheddar cheese on top.

15. Step 15

    For that extra crunch, finish it off with a generous handful of crushed tortilla chips, adding a delightful texture to your dish.

16. Step 16

    Now it’s time to bake! Place your creation in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.

17. Step 17

    Once it’s done, allow it to cool for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

18. Step 18

    This dish is not just a meal; it’s a comforting experience that brings everyone together.
