One-Pot Taco Mac & Cheese
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef, chicken, turkey or veggie crumbles (I use half ground beef, half chopped mushrooms)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 pound pasta, any shape
- 16 ounce jar of salsa (any kind, any spice level your family likes)
- 4 cups chicken stock (or water)
- 8 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
- salt and pepper
- fresh cilantro as a garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a large stock pot or extra-large skillet, saute ground beef (or whatever you’re using) plus the diced onion until browned.
- Add pasta, salsa and chicken stock. Stir and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer with a lid partially on.
- Cook for about 12 minutes, until the pasta has soaked up most of the liquid.
- Turn off the heat. Add cheese and stir while it melts.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with cilantro if using.
