Tools Used in the making of this Cheesy Taco Pasta:Ĭast Iron Skillet: This is my most used pan in my kitchen, heavy, keeps heat well and gives the BEST sear ever. Or if you want something a bit different you can also make my Mexican Stuffed Peppers with all the taco flavors but none of the pasta! Cheesy Taco Stuffed Shells – the XL version of this recipe!Īnd yes, you can absolutely add crushed chips to the top! Then you’ll be re-living some awesome childhood hamburger helper memories.Looking for more great cheesy pasta dishes? Look no further: Then once warmed through add the cheese, mix and serve. I’d skip adding the cheese and when you defrost it, use a cup of chicken or beef stock. You can also freeze this pasta for a later date. If you want your pasta to be really cheesy I suggest 2 cups of cheese. I added only a single cup of cheese, while some in my family will add additional piles of cheese to their plate. You can also make this Cheesy Taco Pasta as cheesy as you’d like. On occasion I’ve also used fresh salsa (I firmly believe that recipe is one of the best ever), but the higher water content of it makes the pasta more watery.
You can certainly add your own fresh vegetables to the mix instead of the salsa, but I used a good jarred salsa and it tasted fantastic. 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! Much better.Ĭheesy Taco Pasta is my nod to the hamburger helper I grew up eating as a kid. Cheesy Taco Pasta is easy to make and tastes like the Hamburger Helper you used to eat as a kid except better.
