Elevate your dinner tonight with the perfect blend of creamy and spicy taco flavors, all in a quick noodle dish!

1

Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions, typically about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2

While the spaghetti is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

4

Stir in the taco seasoning along with 1/4 cup of water. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

5

Reduce the heat to low, then add in the cream cheese and sour cream. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.

6

Toss the prepared spaghetti into the creamy beef mixture, ensuring all the noodles are coated. Cook for another 2 minutes, just to heat through.

7

For added heat, you can mix in the chopped jalapeño at this point.

8

Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro.
