Taco Pasta

How to make one pan taco pasta with ground beef?

First, place a large skillet over low-medium heat. Add in the ground beef and cook it until it browns.

After that, remove it from the pan, drain the excess grease, and return the beef to the skillet.

Next, sprinkle the taco seasoning over the ground beef.

Afterward, add beef broth, water, tomatoes and green chiles, and corn.

Now, stir the mixture and then bring it to a boil. Once the liquid is boiling, toss in the dry (uncooked) pasta noodles.

Then, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the skillet, and let mixture cook to for about 15-minutes.

Once the time has passed, check the pasta and see if it’s done. If not, let it cook a little longer.

However, if it is done, then stir in half (1-cup) of the cheddar cheese and then sprinkle the rest of the cheese (1-cup) over the top of the pasta.

That’s it, your taco pasta is done! Top it with chipotle guacamole, sour cream, or whatever garnishes you desire.

Recipe Tips:

• For a crispy topping, crumble some tortilla chips or tortilla strips and sprinkle them over the pasta.
• Try using 93/7 ground beef, low-fat sour cream, and low-fat cheese to lighten up this recipe.
• This taco dish can be made gluten-free by substituting a couple of the base ingredients. For example, use gluten-free noodles and seasoning blends.
• Also, don’t be afraid to add more liquid if the noodles soak it up too quickly. Personally, I would use beef stock so the flavors aren’t diluted.
