Skillet Spaghetti

Sharing is caring!

Skillet Spaghetti is one of those dishes I have been making since my first year of marriage! It is a simple one-dish dinner that combines spaghetti, meat and sauce all in a single dish!

This also goes perfectly with our Ultimate Cheesy Garlic bread. Be sure to read our time-saving tips at the end of this recipe. We area all about helping you make the most of your time. 

I have change the recipe a bit over the years, but I still love that I can whip up a spaghetti meal in a single skillet saving lots of time (and some dish washing too)!

It comes together in minutes and I make mine with ground beef or ground chuck. You can also use ground turkey too!

You make the sauce first,

Then add the uncooked spaghetti and cook it in the sauce on the stove.

About 20 minutes later, it comes together for a wonderful meal!

I love that I can make the sauce and noodles in one pot in about 30 minutes. So easy and the meat sauce is hearty and flavorful.

Time-saving Tip

I chop onions on Sunday so that they are ready to go later during the week. I keep them in a sealed bag in the refrigerator and it saves me time by not having to chop onions several times a week.
