Instructions
Creating One-Pot Spaghetti With Ground Beef is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
3. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
4. Season the Mixture: Add Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
5. Add Spaghetti: Break the spaghetti in half and add it to the pot. Stir to ensure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
6. Cook the Pasta: Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spaghetti is cooked al dente.
7. Check Consistency: If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash of water or broth to reach your desired consistency.
8. Serve: Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired.
