This Creamy Cajun Beef Spaghetti combines tender pasta, savory ground beef, and a rich, cheesy Cajun sauce for the ultimate comfort food. It’s bold, creamy, and ready to steal the spotlight at dinner.
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion is soft and fragrant.
- Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the beef evenly so every bite gets that bold flavor.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
- Lower the heat and stir in the Parmesan, mozzarella, and cheddar cheeses. Mix until the sauce becomes creamy, smooth, and fully combined.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss until every strand is coated with the creamy Cajun sauce. Simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes so the pasta absorbs the flavor.
- Top with fresh parsley or extra cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy that perfect balance of creamy, cheesy, and spicy goodness.

Recipe Tips
Don’t skip letting the sauce simmer for a few minutes before adding the pasta. It gives the flavors time to blend and thickens the sauce perfectly so it clings to every noodle.
