Taco Pasta
This Taco Pasta is comfort food made with cheesy pasta, hearty ground beef, and seasoned with taco seasoning. It's a one-pot meal that's ready in 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 pound ground beef, or ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 can, 10 oz Rotel diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 8 oz pasta shells
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, more for serving
Optional Toppings
- Shredded Cheese
- Sour Cream
- Green Onions
- Cilantro
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Then add the garlic and sauté 1 more minute.
- Add the ground meat, breaking apart the meat as it cooks, for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, Rotel and chicken broth, stirring until combined. Add the pasta shells and stir to combine.
- Turn the heat to HIGH and bring everything to a boil. Then lower the heat to medium-low, loosely cover the pot, and simmer until the pasta is cooked through (about 12-15 minutes). Stir frequently to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan. If needed, add a little extra broth till pasta is cooked.
- Stir in shredded cheese and serve immediately!
