Description
Weight Watchers Taco Pasta - a hearty beef taco pasta topped with cheese and all the taco fixings. This Taco Pasta has ground beef, cheese, taco seasoning (duh), salsa, and macaroni. It's almost like Hamburger Helper.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb of elbow macaroni
- 1 lb of 96% lean ground beef
- 1 package of low sodium taco seasoning
- 1 cup of salsa
- 1 cup of reduced fat or fat free shredded cheddar cheese
- additional taco toppings such as green onions, tomatoes, avocado, more cheese, fat free sour cream, etc...
Instructions
- Boil pasta noodles until al dente for around 7 to 8 minutes in a large pot. Drain the noodles and set them aside in a bowl.
- Cook the ground beef in a skillet and drain the fat. Add the ground beef back to the skillet and add the water (3/4 cup), taco seasoning, salsa and cheese. Stir until well combined and then add the noodles. Serve the pasta with more cheese, green onions, tomatoes, avocado, or fat free sour cream if desired. It's good without all those extra toppings.
