Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and then drain off any excess fat.
Into the same skillet with the ground beef, add the taco seasoning, beef broth, whole milk, salsa, and the optional corn and black beans, if using. Stir well and then bring to a low boil.
Add the uncooked pasta into the skillet and submerge it in the liquid. Place the lid on top and cook according to the packaged instructions. *Halfway through cooking, stir well to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the pasta has reached your desired level of doneness, reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheese until melted.
Serve immediately.
Notes
You can use homemade taco seasoning or store-bought taco seasoning. If using storebought, 2 tablespoons are equivalent to one packet.
Adding beans and/or corn is a simple and yummy addition! However, if your family isn't a fan, you can leave them out!
Feel free to adjust just how cheesy this dish is! I use 1 cup in the recipe, but you can easily add more to the pot or add more when serving individual bowls!
To store: Keep any leftover taco pasta in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
To reheat: Reheat small portions in the microwave or larger portions in a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.
