EASY FIESTA PASTA BAKE

Easy Fiesta Pasta Bake The Southern Lady Cooks

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.

If you can't find the Fiesta Nacho soup, you can use Campbell's cheese soup. If you want a kick, add hot Rotel tomatoes. This dish is great garnished with sour cream.
