Brown the ground beef in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. When the beef is about halfway browned, add the onions and continue cooking until the beef is browned and the onions are soft.
Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
Increase the heat to medium and add the Rotel tomatoes, taco seasoning, beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the spaghetti. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the spaghetti is tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pot several times and stir frequently.-
Remove from the heat and top with both cheeses. Place a lid on the pot and let the cheese melt for several minutes. Remove the lid, stir the cheese in, and top with chopped cilantro.

Instead of trying to drain the fat from the pot and risking dumping the beef, tilt the pot on its end and use a paper towel to soak up the excess.
Add small amounts of beef broth if needed to keep the pasta covered.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave at reduced power for short increments until warm or in a skillet on the stovetop over low heat until warm.
