Cheesy Beef Taco Pasta
A perfect blend of cheesy, savory goodness with a fun twist on taco night! This pasta is packed with flavors that everyone will love.
🧾 Ingredients:
3 pounds ground beef 🥩
1 box small shells pasta 🍝
1 pack Velveeta cheese 🧀
A handful of sharp cheddar cheese 🧀
2 packs taco seasoning 🌮
1 can original Rotel tomatoes 🍅
1/2 cup milk 🥛
👩🍳 Instructions:
Cook the ground beef:
In a large skillet or pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain any excess fat, and return the beef to the skillet.
Prepare the pasta:
While the beef is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the small shells pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
Mix in the seasonings:
Add the taco seasoning to the browned ground beef, along with the can of Rotel (undrained). Stir to combine, and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Make it cheesy:
Lower the heat, and add the Velveeta cheese and sharp cheddar cheese to the beef mixture. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is creamy.
Add milk:
Pour in the 1/2 cup of milk to smooth out the sauce, and stir well. If you like it creamier, you can add a bit more milk.
Combine pasta and beef mixture:
Add the cooked pasta to the cheesy beef mixture and stir everything together until well combined and coated.
Serve and enjoy:
Serve hot with a sprinkle of extra cheddar on top, if desired, and enjoy your cheesy, taco-flavored pasta!
🍽️ Enjoy!
