Provided by Ashley Fehr

Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon oil
½ medium onion ((finely diced))
1 red bell pepper ((chopped))
1 lb lean ground beef ((cooked or raw))
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk ((whole or other))
284 ml canned Rotel tomatoes with green chiles
1 cup low sodium beef broth
2 3/4 cups dry macaroni
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese ((divided))

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil, peppers and onions and cook, stirring often, until softened.
  • Stir in ground beef (cooked or raw), taco seasoning and salt. If you have some Big Batch Beef prepped, you can just cook and stir 1 minute. If you are starting with raw ground beef, cook and stir until browned.
  • Add milk, tomatoes and beef broth and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir in dry macaroni.
  • Cover and cook, stirring often, until pasta is cooked through -- about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in cheese (you can add a splash of broth or milk if you need to make the sauce come together) and let melt, reserving 1 cup to sprinkle over top if desired. Serve.
