Taco seasoning spices (see below) or 1 package of taco seasoning mix.
1 can Diced Tomatoes, undrained

(I like making my own taco seasoning to have more control over flavor and heat)

1 Tbsp. Chili Powder
1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp. Onion Powder
1/4 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (more if you like it HOT but this is just the right amount)

1 tsp. Sea Salt
1 tsp. Black Pepper

Directions

Cook beef in large skillet over medium-high heat 7 minutes or until crumbled and no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
While the ground beef is cooking, break your spaghetti noodles in half and cook per instructions on box.
Add undrained tomatoes to the cooked ground beef
Add the taco seasoning spices and stir to combine
Continue to let the ground beef simmer while adding seasonings and tomatoes while spaghetti is cooking.
Once the spaghetti noodles are cooked, add them to the meat mixture
Combine the noodles and beef mixture carefully
