Cheesy Taco Pasta
This easy to make Cheesy Taco Pasta recipe is made in one pot and is ready in just 30 minutes! Taco seasoned ground beef mixed with loads of cheese and pasta make up this delicious dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ large onion small diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 ½ teaspoons paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
- 1 pinch chipotle powder
- To Taste pepper
- 3 cups elbow noodles
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a large (deep) skillet over medium heat begin browning the ground beef. When the meat is halfway through cooking add in the onions and continue cooking until the meat is cooked through and the onions are tender. Drain off the fat and return back to the pan.
- Now add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, cook for another minute.
- Pour in the beef stock, milk, diced tomatoes and all of the seasonings. Stir to fully combine.
- Bring to a boil then add in the pasta. Stir well. Cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes or until the pasta is tender.
- Uncover and remove from the heat. Stir in the cheese. Enjoy!
