Taco Spaghetti Bake

  4.7 – 68 reviews  • Baked

On a steamy summer day, frozen daiquiris are a fantastic way to cool off. A frosty drink treat can be made by blending rum, sugar, triple sec, and lime juice with ice.

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 50 mins
Additional Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  1. 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
  2. 1 ½ pounds ground beef
  3. 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
  4. ¾ cup water
  5. 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
  6. 1 (8 ounce) jar taco sauce
  7. 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  8. 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
  9. 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  10. 1 cup tortilla chips, crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking dish.
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer pasta to prepared baking dish.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Stir in taco seasoning and water; simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add corn and taco sauce; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes more.
  4. Combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1 cup Cheddar cheese in a bowl until evenly mixed. Spread mixture over spaghetti. Spread beef mixture over sour cream mixture and top with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese and tortilla chips.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

It was wonderful
Lisa Baker
Turned out delicious! My teenager tore it up! I was skeptical at first but omg we will be making it again! I stuck to the recipe except for added more cheese and tortilla chips.

My teenager and I were a bit skeptical at first when we mixed the cream of chicken with sour cream combo – but it turned out to be really delicious! Next time we’re going to ditch the corn (personal preference) and use a spicy taco mix to give it a little kick. Definitely a keeper!
William Kelly
The only substitution I made was using black beans instead of corn. It was creamy and tasty but a bit too mild. Since one ounce of taco seasoning is what is typically used for one pound of ground beef when making tacos, next time I make I will use 1/1-2 ozs (3 tbsp). Also, if you like a lot of crunch on top, don’t stop with one cup of crushed tortilla chips!
Tammy Montgomery
Yes, and family gave me two thumbs up!

It’s was a big hit with my bunch it was a great meal

Whoever made up this recipe and posted it should’ve mentioned that they have no idea what a good home cooked casserole is supposed to taste like and that they likely grew up eating generic brand Mac N Cheese out of the box. Although I think the Mac N Cheese is probably a step up. $30 not well spent.

Delicious twist on spagheti. Loved it! Will definately make again.

Not one of my more Favorite of Recipes. Was just Missing something…
Charles Bolton
Great! A few variations to match our tastes but LOVE this combo. Leftovers are good too.
Jack Simpson
Made it exactly as written! My family Loved it! So Good!

I did make a few changes. I put in salsa instead of taco sauce. I also substituted black beans instead of the corn. Never have liked corn and hamburger cooked together. I made my own cream of turkey soup as I cannot use canned soups. I did not have chicken bone broth available and I did have turkey . It was quite tasty- even the leftovers warmed up well
Kathryn Contreras
I made this tonight just as instructed. it makes a very large casserole and my husband and son loved so much that there are hardly any leftovers. Definitely going to be a staple dish in my recipe box.
Gary Jensen
This casserole is as good as it gets. I was leery of using noodles in a Mexican flavored dish but it just works. I took the advice of another reviewer and used elbow macaroni. It’s just sooo yummy!
James Gillespie
I used greek yogurt instead of sour cream and it still came out good.
Victoria Davis
I followed the recipe but used elbows instead of spaghetti. I just thought it would be easier to eat. It seemed weird to add cream of chicken soup to a mexican recipe but it was so good. You definitely need to try this recipe if you haven’t already! Loved it!!
Timothy Thomas
This was pretty good. Not as “kid friendly” as I had hoped. 1 out of my 3 liked it, but that is not unusual. It was an interesting combination of foods coming together. I made as is and thought it just tasted like tacos over spaghetti. My husband loved it. He loves any casserole dish.
Patricia Anderson
Great dish. My family really enjoyed it. I made it per the recipe, with no changes. Delicious!
Michael Lam
Really great, but a little weird with the spaghetti bottom. next time I will use a biscuit bottom or just a layer of chips
Ashley Clark
My family loved it, deffinately a regular from now on.
Linda Bates
