Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 (14.5-ounce can) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 4 cups beef or chicken stock
- 1 pound Pasta of Choice
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
Optional toppings:
- greek yogurt or sour cream
- jalapeños sliced
- fresh cilantro
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, add olive oil and set over medium heat. Once shimmering, add onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until it starts to soften.
- Add ground beef, garlic, and taco seasoning and cook, stirring often, until the meat is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and stir to coat all of the meat and vegetables. Add diced tomatoes and stock and bring to a boil. Add pasta and reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 to 18 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente and almost all of the liquid has cooked off.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheese, mixing until melted. Serve with toppings of choice.
