Cheesy Taco Pasta Delight
A delicious and comforting pasta dish featuring ground beef, cheese, and taco seasoning.
Equipment
- Large Skillet For cooking the beef and pasta.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup chicken or beef broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 can tomato sauce (8 ounces)
- 1 package taco seasoning (1 ounce)
- 1.5 cups elbow noodles (gluten-free if preferred)
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can Ro-Tel (10 ounce, undrained)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Make sure to drain off any excess grease for a healthier dish.
- Add the undrained can of Ro-Tel, broth, milk, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the elbow noodles, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and creates a creamy, cheesy goodness.
Notes
For a little extra kick, consider adding some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of chili powder. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side salad or some warm bread.
