One Pot Cheesy Taco Spaghetti

One Pot Cheesy Taco Spaghetti Recipe

Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a very beautiful woman named….hmm….ohhhh….Amanda. And Amanda and her Prince Charming lived in a charming home with their four adorable children. Everyday, Amanda would go to the freezer to pull something out to thaw for dinner and think of all of the magical meals she would prepare with love for her family. When evening came, she would chop, saute and create the most amazing feasts. Prince Charming would come in and say, “Looks good, babe” and make himself a plate. Amanda would beam with pride. Child A would come in and say, “Thanks for dinner” and Amanda would be happy. Child B would run into the kitchen and say, “Thanks. I’ll just have this” and put one part of the feast on his plate. But Amanda would still smile. Child C would bounce in and say, “Ewww. That looks disgusting. I don’t like anything that doesn’t come out of a box.” Amanda would cringe. And finally Child D would pop in and say “Can I just make Ramen noodles? Why don’t you ever make something we like?” And Amanda would be frustrated.

The next night, Amanda thought she would make her life easier and make something plain, gross and out of a box. Prince Charming walked in and winced, but said “Looks good babe” and made himself a plate. Child A said, “Thanks for dinner”. Child B said, “Hmmm. Maybe I’ll just have a PB and J.” Child C said “YESSS!” Then took a bite and said “Never mind, I don’t like this.” And Child D said, “I don’t like it this way. I’m just going to have Ramen noodles.” And Amanda gave up and vowed that she would from that day forward, only make things that she liked for dinner ever again because if people were going to complain, then she would at least be happy. And she did. And she never heard the sounds of complaining again over her favorite dinners.

Ok, so I made that story up. Well, sort of. Moms! Please tell me I’m not alone in the dinner time blues! Luckily, I have a few recipes that I know I can whip up that I love and I know that all four kids will gobble up and even ask for seconds on. Those my friends are called keepers.
