30 min4 servingsEasyTex-Mex

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2,5 cups macaroni pasta
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes
  • 2,5 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1,5 cups shredded cheddar
  • 1 cups yellow onion
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown 1 lb ground beef with onion in a large pot until no pink remains, 6 minutes; drain fat.

  2. 2

    Stir in garlic and taco seasoning, cooking 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add diced tomatoes, beef broth and pasta, stirring to submerge.

  4. 4

    Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer 12 minutes until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and stir in cheddar until melted and creamy.

  6. 6

    Top with cilantro and serve straight from the pot.

Chef's tip

Take the pot off the heat before adding the cheese so it melts into a silky sauce instead of turning grainy or stringy.

Suggested pairing

A zesty Mexican lager with a squeeze of lime is a natural match.
