Easy Cheesy Taco Pasta

Cheesy Taco Pasta is easy to make and tastes like the Hamburger Helper you used to eat as a kid except better. Much better.

Cheesy Taco Pasta is my nod to the hamburger helper I grew up eating as a kid. While this isn’t exactly the “crunchy taco hamburger helper” because I skipped adding the tortilla chips on top, the ooey gooey meat and cheese sauce is still the same and with just a few ingredients!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound large shells pasta
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 3/4 cup of water
• 1 cup jarred salsa
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

1. Cook the shelled pasta according to the directions on the box and drain.
2. Add the ground beef to the pan and brown well.
3. Drain the fat.
4. Add the taco seasoning and 3/4 cup of water, stir and cook until water is gone.
5. Add the pasta back into the pot with the salsa and cheese.
6. Stir to combine.
7. Serve immediately, preferably with crunchy tortilla chips (optional) on top.
