Description
A delicious one-pot meal combining ground beef, macaroni, and taco flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. ground beef (ground sausage, or half and half)
- 8 oz. elbow macaroni
- 1 packet taco seasoning (1 oz.)
- 1 can corn (kernels, 10 oz. drained)
- 1 can Rotel (10 oz.)
- 1/2 red onion (diced)
- 1 c water
- 1 c beef broth (or water)
- 3/4 c cheddar cheese (optional)
- Doritos (crushed, served on top, optional)
Instructions
- In a large/deep skillet, begin to saute the ground beef and chopped onion. Once the meat is browned, stir in the taco seasoning. Continue to saute for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add drained can of corn, Rotel, uncooked macaroni noodles and water/broth to the skillet. Stir to combine, bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat.
- Continue to simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked. We like to fold in shredded cheese so it melts and serve. Garnish with shredded cheese, crushed chips, sour cream, and avocado slices.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding jalapeños or bell peppers.
- Adjust the amount of taco seasoning to taste if desired.
