Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package directions. Drain when the pasta reaches al dente.
- Meanwhile, cook the beef in a Dutch oven over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
- Stir in the salsa, soup, and Velveeta cheese; heat through.
- Stir the cooked pasta into the meat mixture. Transfer the taco pasta to a greased 11-in x 7-in baking dish.
- Sprinkle with shredded Mexican cheese.
- Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Notes
- You can make taco pasta with another protein – such as ground chicken, ground turkey, or store-bought shredded chicken.
- Skip the baking time and make this a one-pot cheesy taco pasta by cooking all the ingredients in a large Dutch oven on the stovetop.
- If you don't have shell pasta, you can substitute it with another similar short pasta shape -- such as penne!
- Cooking just for two? Cut all of the ingredients in half and bake the pasta in a small (about 1 quart) casserole dish. The rest of the instructions remain the same.
- When reheating leftovers, loosen up the cheesy pasta with some beef broth or chicken broth. A little goes a long way!
