  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 10 ounces diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste
  • 8 ounces spaghetti noodles
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.
  3. Add the ground beef and diced onion to the hot grease. Cook, breaking up the meat, until fully browned and onions are soft, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess grease if desired.
  4. Stir in garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the undrained diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chilies, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Stir well, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
  6. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Let it simmer uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes to blend flavors and thicken the sauce slightly.
  7. Toss the cooked spaghetti into the sauce until the pasta is coated.
  8. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and reserved bacon. Cover for 2 to 3 minutes until cheese melts. Garnish with green onions and serve hot.
