cheesy taco pasta

Cheesy taco beef baked underneath a crunchy tortilla chip layer then loaded with classic taco toppings - This truly is the ultimate taco pasta!!

Taco Pasta Bake

Ground Beef (10-12%)

/ 250 milliliters Low Sodium Beef Stock

Cheese (see notes)

tbsp Taco Seasoning

Onion,

Pickled Jalapeños, finely diced (optional)

Olive Oil,

Oil Spray, to top

Sour Cream, to drizzle

Red Onion, finely diced

Tomato, finely diced

Avocado, diced

Add a drizzle of oil to a large pan over medium heat and add onion (and jalapeños if using). Fry until they begin to soften &amp; brown, then add beef. Break up with a wooden spoon and continue frying until nicely browned and fully cooked through.

Add in taco seasoning then stir in 1 heaped tbsp tomato puree. Fry for a few mins, then pour in 1cup/250ml beef stock and 1 can of chopped tomatoes. Deglaze the pan as necessary, give it all a good stir and allow to simmer on low-medium for 10-15mins until the sauce begins to thicken and the tomatoes have burst.

Meanwhile pop 10.5oz/300g pasta in salted boiling water and cook until JUST al dente (if it&#039;s properly cooked it&#039;ll turn soft and sloppy in the oven, you want it still a little hard). Just before draining scoop out a cup of the starchy pasta water. Pre heat oven to 200C/390F.

Combine pasta and beef with 1/3cup of starchy pasta water. Give it a good stir until everything is blended. The starchy water will help create a sauce, with the starch molecules emulsifying with the fat in the sauce. Stir in your cheese until nice and gooey, the pour into a casserole dish.

Top with crushed tortilla chips or hard taco shells (just enough to create a thin layer over the top fully covering the pasta). Spray with oil, then pop in the oven for 20mins, or until the top goes nice and golden. Be vigilant, top goes golden to burnt quickly.

Top with your favourite taco toppings (suggestions in ingredients list) and enjoy!

Slow cooker taco pasta is everything you love about pasta and tacos combined into one saucy, cheesy, taco-seasoned beefy dish loaded with bell peppers, black beans, corn, and salsa!

Slow Cooker Cheesy Taco Pasta

sirloin (I prefer 91/3)

salt & pepper (to taste)

Tablespoons taco seasoning (homemade

red bell pepper (diced)

salsa

fiesta corn

black beans (drained & rinsed)

beef broth (or water)

medium shells

shredded cheddar (plus more for topping)

sour cream cheese (for topping)

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef, seasoning with salt and pepper, and browning while breaking apart.

Once browned, add the ground beef to the basin of a 6 quart slow cooker.

Add in the taco seasoning, diced bell pepper, salsa, corn, black beans, and beef broth. Stir to combine.

Cover and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours.

30 minutes before cook time in up, stir in the uncooked pasta, checking for doneness at 10 minutes and then at 20 minutes.

Once the pasta is tender, stir in the shredded cheese and let melt.

Serve with your favorite toppings.

I really like this and will be making over and over. I always follow the recipe and then make tweaks sometimes. I think I'll add green chili enchilada sauce for some of my liquid. I just love the flavor of it. But either way it's yummy!

Found this recipe yesterday, and decided to make it for the kids.  We have late practices every night for swimming, and looking for more quick, easy and delicious meals.  It was a HIT!  Super easy, and kids can each also add toppings on top just like a taco if they wanted.  Will make again and again for sure!  Thank you!

Love this recipe! I wasn't sure about adding the dry pasta, but it worked perfectly! In fact, I loved the texture even more than usual! I doubled the ground beef for extra protein. My husband and daughter also gobbled it up and went for seconds! Great comfort food recipe!

My family loves the taco pasta! It’s in our meal rotation. Easy &amp; delicious!

Trying this tonight smells delicious already

This fantastic recipe has become a staple in our home. It is overflowing with flavor and is so quick and easy to make. We use rotini pasta as it is our favorite pasta purchased from Thrive Market and we love Kettle and Fire beef bone broth which when added to quality beef truly amps up that beefy flavor. We love it made as is and have also added corn and green chilis and sliced olives. Such a wonderful recipe! Thank you!

I will make this again!! It's simple and tasty. I used chicken instead of the ground beef, and it was awesome!! Thanks, Liz, for sharing this recipe.

I made this recipe last minute when some friends stopped by for dinner and they all loved it!! They said it was better than going to any restaurant for dinner. I’ll definitely make it again!

Absolutely love! It has a great flavor, and so easy and quick to make. I have a very picky eater and refuses to try new things. I got him to try this when I made it and he loves it! It is now added to our routine of dinner meals. ❤️

I made this the other night for something new to try, and now it's on the menu to make quite often 😋. It's amazing! The only thing I did different was I added less cheese, I don't like cheese. But when I made my kid's plates and husband's plate I added more cheese to theirs.

Tasty!!!  Great for lunch meal prep bowls.

This recipe is so good! It’s fast and easy and satisfying. It has already become part of my regular rotation of meals. Can’t wait to try more recipes from The Clean Eating Couple!

If you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal this is it! Comes together really easy and tastes great!

My family loves tacos so we thought we'd try this version. Easy peasy to make! Kids liked it, but still would choose regular tacos over this.

Delicious! Made this a few different times and prefer it with your taco seasoning recipe over store bought.

This by far is the easiest recipe with few ingredients and was a hit! When it was done I had to taste it and it was so good..however it seems I never learn that when you let something with pasta sit too long it soaks up the juice.. I started it too early hence it sat for like 10-15 min..don’t do that and you will love! Thanks for this quick, easy and delicious recipe!!!

My whole family loves this recipe. I always add a can of black beans and a can of corn to make it stretch a little further... and the kids will try anything with corn. We top with extra cheese &amp; sour cream, with the option of taco sauce for the "heat" lovers.

I have cooked this for my family so many times! It is easy and delicious. Thank you for sharing.

I see there are 6 servings, but what is the serving size?

This is delicious!

my family loves this recipe. Only thing I do differently is I blend up the salsa, so there’s no chunks for my picky eaters ;)

2nd time making this. I added chopped onions and a little more taco seasoning.  Everyone loved it
