Taco Pasta Recipe with Cream Cheese
Report
A one pot cheesy taco pasta recipe that is made with ground beef and pasta in a creamy sauce. An easy recipe that comes together in 30 minutes for dinner tonight.This taco pasta is so good. It has a little spicy kick that isn't too spicy and I'm such a pasta & cheese lover that I could eat the whole pan.

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ¼ cup taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 10 ounces enchilada sauce I prefer Gebhardt brand
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
- 3 cups uncooked pasta choose your favorite - shells, elbows, etc
- 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
- 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a deep skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef and season with taco seasoning and onion powder. Once it has browned and is cooked through, add in the garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add enchilada sauce, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Mix to combine.
- Bring to a boil, add the pasta, mix, and turn down to a simmer.
- Cover and simmer stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until pasta is cooked.
- Remove the lid and stir the mixture. Turn your burner down to low (if it isn't already).
- Add the cream cheese in pieces. Mix them in until they melt. Once that has melted, add in the shredded cheese. Mix to combine and let it melt.
- Serve it up with your favorite toppings and a little extra cheese.
Notes
- You can add in extras and your favorite taco items. I like adding black beans, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, and corn.
- If you use pasta that's larger than elbow or shells, you may need a little more cooking time.
- If your stove cooks a little hot (even on low), you may need to add additional liquid so that the pasta can fully cook through.
