The cooking process explained
Making Nacho Spaghetti involves a few simple steps that come together beautifully. First, we’ll cook the spaghetti until it’s just right, then sauté the ground beef until it’s perfectly browned. Following that, we blend in our creamy nacho cheese sauce, diced tomatoes, and a splash of heavy cream for extra richness. Once you’ve combined everything and tossed in the pasta, you’ll add the cheese until it’s all melty and smooth. Finally, garnish with fresh green onions for that finishing touch. It’s truly a dish that comes together in a breeze!
