Cowboy spaghetti takes classic tomato pasta and makes it even better by throwing in sliced jalapenos for heat, <em>allll<\/em> the bacon, shredded cheddar cheese instead of parmesan, and smoky rotel tomatoes! One bite and you\u2019ll be obsessed.<\/p>\n<p>I know you might be thinking that a Tex-Mex twist on a classic Italian dish sounds odd, but trust me! It works. It\u2019s so hearty and full of flavor, you won\u2019t be able to resist getting a second helping! Let\u2019s get into all of the tasty ingredients you\u2019ll need to make it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients-in-cowboy-spaghetti\">Ingredients in Cowboy Spaghetti<\/h2>\n<p>For easy prep, cowboy spaghetti uses a lot of simple spices and canned goods. It\u2019s the best! The beauty is in the mix-ins, so feel free to add in any other hearty ingredients you\u2019d like- diced green chilis, salsa, other types of cheese, you name it! And as always, exact measurement are in the recipe card below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dry Spaghetti:<\/strong>\u00a0To soak up all the delicious sauce! You can also use other types of pasta as well, whatever you have on hand!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chopped Bacon:<\/strong>\u00a0Adds a delicious, meaty twist to the dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lean Ground Beef:<\/strong>\u00a0The main protein in cowboy spaghetti. You can also sub it out for ground turkey or even sausage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion and Garlic<\/strong>: Get minced and added into the meat mixture to give it more flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasonings and Spices: <\/strong>I used a mix of chili powder, salt, and pepper. You could swap out the chili powder for smoked paprika if you wanted something a little warmer and smokier with less heat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Worcestershire Sauce:<\/strong>\u00a0Adds a complex savory and tangy flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rotel Tomatoes, Undrained:<\/strong>\u00a0Rotel diced tomatoes with green chiles adds a bit of spice and texture to the sauce.

It gets nice and melty!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green Scallions, Diced for Garnish:<\/strong>\u00a0These add a fresh, oniony bite and pop of color.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jalapeno, Sliced for Garnish (optional, but highly recommended!):<\/strong>\u00a0If you like things spicy, jalapeno adds a fresh kick to the dish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-it\">How to Make It<\/h2>\n<p>Ready in 20 minutes, cowboy spaghetti is the best weeknight dinner!
