Taco Bol not Taco Bell
Fed up with Turkey? Looking for something to excite those taste buds? Then give this ‘Taco Bol’ a try AKA taco-flavoured Bolognese. It’s easy to make and tasty as well. In 30 mins you’ll have a meal that will serve you for a couple of days, and it’s quick to reheat for lunch or another dinner.
That’s if you have any left to store – we had two servings on the first day, it was that good! Creamy, spicy and cheesy. But I fear the calorie content in this American-inspired dish.
Simple Taco Spaghetti Bolognese takes about 30 mins to cook, so is a handy store cupboard dish for a cold night when you can’t be bothered with much or at the weekend when you have much better things to do, like lounge!
All you need is mince, cheese, tomatoes, chilli, spaghetti and chicken soup – easy!
