Spicy Tex-Mex Pasta Bake

A delightful and cheesy Tex-Mex pasta dish that combines savory ground beef, creamy Velveeta, and a medley of spices for a comforting meal.


Ingredients

  • 12 oz pasta
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion
  • 10.5 oz mushroom soup
  • 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 8 oz Velveeta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Method

  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your favorite pasta and cook it for about 10 to 12 minutes until it's al dente, making sure to stir occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile, in a spacious skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with chopped onions until the meat is fully cooked and the onions are soft and translucent, which should take roughly 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the creamy mushroom soup, diced tomatoes, a splash of water, and a generous amount of taco seasoning. Mix everything together and let it simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Add Velveeta cheese to the skillet, stirring consistently until it melts into a creamy sauce, which should take around 5 minutes.
  5. Once your pasta is cooked, drain it and combine it with the savory meat mixture in the skillet. Top with a layer of shredded Cheddar cheese, cover the skillet, and allow it to sit until the cheese is gooey and melted.
