Mexican Beef and Pasta

This dinner hit all the buttons for my family, basically it’s taco pasta and it was yummy!! And easy to make!  My two favorite things.

3 cups pasta

1 pound lean ground beef

1 onion, chopped

2 (14 1/2 oz each) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can corn, drained or 1 cup frozen corn

1 cup chunky salsa

1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies

3 tablespoons taco seasoning

1  Cook pasta according to package directions and then drain.  While pasta is cooking, in large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until beef is cooked through, drain grease.

2  Stir in pasta, tomatoes, beans, corn, salsa, chilies, and taco seasoning.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer, uncovered, for 8 – 10 minutes or until heated through.  Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, additional salsa, sour cream and/or chips as desired.
