EASY FIESTA PASTA BAKE
This easy fiesta pasta bake is full of creamy cheese, spices, and ground beef. My family loves this dish. It really makes the perfect weeknight dinner and it’s budget-friendly. It’s quick and full of flavor. It’s also super versatile in that you can add in or take our what your family likes and dislikes. I love dishes like this because they are simple, no fuss and delicious!
Fiesta Pasta Bake Ingredients Needed:
Ground beef
Wide egg noodles
Mild Rotel tomatoes
Can of Campbell’s condensed Fiesta Nacho cheese soup
Whipping cream
Diced onion
Garlic powder
Cumin
Chili powder
Shredded Fiesta cheese (taco blend)
Recipe Notes: We make this dish with lean ground beef but you can easily use ground turkey or even ground chicken. If you want to make this dish spicy, you can use hot Rotel tomatoes. You can also use any flavor of shredded cheese that your family enjoys.
If you like this recipe, you may want to try our sloppy joe pasta casserole. It’s also super easy and very budget-friendly.
