This dish cheesy perfection. Because, as you can see, there is no skimping on the cheese in this cheesy taco pasta…
Ingredients [ For 7 to 8 people ] [ Preparation time : 22 minute – Cooking time : 35 minutes ]
- 1 pound extra lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 cups water separated
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 2 cups elbow macaroni 10 ounces
- 1 cup taco sauce
- 1 and 1/2 to 2 cups taco or Mexican shredded cheese
- Optional toppings: green onions, sour cream, diced tomatoes, diced avocado
Preparation Method
-
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet.
-
Drain the fat and add in the onion and garlic. Stir until fragrant – about 30 seconds to a minute on medium-high heat.
-
Add in one cup of water, salsa, corn, and taco seasoning.
-
Stir well and add in the uncooked pasta and taco sauce.
-
Bring to a boil and then lower to low-medium heat and cover the skillet with a lid.
-
Let simmer for about 5-7 minutes and then add in the last cup of water and stir everything together again.
-
Return lid and let simmer until pasta is tender, about another 5-7 minutes.
-
(If you don’t have a nonstick skillet, you will need to stir this every 3-4 minutes so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.)
-
Remove from heat and sprinkle with cheese. Top with optional toppings of choice.
-
Serve immediately.
Enjoy it!!
