Directions
1
Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat; stir in diced onion, taco seasoning, garlic powder, and paprika. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
2
Pour in diced tomatoes with green chilies and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Add ground beef. Break apart into small pieces and cook until meat is a little more than halfway cooked through, about 5 minutes.
4
Break spaghetti noodles in half and add to the pot. Add chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil. Cover pot with a lid.
5
Cook pasta until tender, yet firm to the bite, 7 to 12 minutes. Mix in cream of chicken soup. Cook for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to low. Add shredded Cheddar cheese; mix in.
6
Add one slice of Velveeta® per person, or 4 around the outside and 1 in the middle.
7
Turn off the heat and cover the pot until cheese starts to melt. Serve.
