One Pot Taco Spaghetti

Taco Tuesday sure is delicious this week!

I decided to try something different because not only was it Taco Tuesday but it was also my daughter Stella’s birthday!

We call her Spaghetti Stella because this kid loves a big ol’ plate of spaghetti so she requests it on her birthday every year. I try to come up with a different recipe to make it fun, so this year I combined spaghetti with another family favorite- tacos to make Taco Spaghetti! It turned out amazing and everyone gobbled it up. Even better it is made in just one large pot so it is easy and saves on clean up!

    I love tacos! And I love taco spaghetti even better. It is awesome how a dish can be cooked different ways. In the Philippines, we like out spaghetti sweetened.

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear
