Time 1h1m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16 ounce) package ground beef
2 cups salsa
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups shell pasta
2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

SKILLET TACO MAC N CHEESE



Skillet Taco Mac N Cheese image

Not knowing what to make for dinner tonight, I searched my cupboards to see what I could throw together. I was just going to add some meat and hide some veggies in some mac n cheese but was inspired by the giant container of taco seasoning on my counter that I had just purchased from Costco. The results were good enough that my husband and I were fighting over the leftovers for lunch tomorrow and the kids have requested I make it again. This recipe is easy with boxed macaroni and cheese but of course can be made healthier if you prepare your own. I topped it with a little sour cream and served with a crisp green salad for a complete meal. Yummy!
