Description

Directions

• Brown the ground beef in a large skillet.
• Drain the fat and add in the onion and garlic. Stir until fragrant - about 30 seconds to a minute on medium-high heat.
• Add in one cup of water, salsa, corn, and taco seasoning. Stir well and add in the uncooked pasta and taco sauce.
• Bring to a boil and then lower to low-medium heat and cover the skillet with a lid.
• Let simmer for about 5-7 minutes and then add in the last cup of water and stir everything together again. Return lid and let simmer until pasta is tender, about another 5-7 minutes.
• (If you dont have a nonstick skillet, you will need to stir this every 3-4 minutes so it doesnt stick to the bottom.)
• Remove from heat and sprinkle with cheese. Top with optional toppings of choice.
• Serve immediately.
