Taco Mac & Cheese

My husband loves taco anything! Ask him any night what he wants for dinner and you will have him say "TACO!" It's pretty much a running joke now. So, naturally I'm always scoping out taco recipes. I'm always up for pasta and this gives a taco twist to an American Chop Suey.

 

1 lb of your favorite pasta, cooked

1 lb ground beef

1 medium onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 packet taco seasoning

1 cup salsa

1 cup reduced fat sour cream

1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

2 cups milk

2 Tbsp cream cheese

 

Recipe Adapted from Cassie Craves

 

Cook past according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

 

Spray a skillet with some nonstick spray and add onions and garlic. Saute over medium heat for 5 minutes, until they start to caramelize. Add in the beef and seasoning, breaking the beef apart as it cooks.

 

When the beef is thoroughly cooked, add in the salsa, sour cream, cream cheese, and cheese. Mix well until all cheese is melted and blended in. Lastly, add the milk and mix well. Cover and simmer on low for 5 minutes.



Mix in your pasta.

Garnish with salsa and sour cream and enjoy!
