Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 cups water (separated)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni (10 ounces)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded taco cheese
Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef completely.

  2. Drain any fat and add in the onion and garlic. Stir about 30 seconds to a minute on medium-high heat.

  3. Add in one cup of water, and taco seasoning. Stir well and then add in the pasta.

  4. Bring to a boil and then lower to low-medium heat and cover the skillet with a lid.

  5. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes and then add in the last cup of water, stirring occasionally. Return the lid and simmer until pasta is tender (about another 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.

  6. Remove from heat and sprinkle cheese over the top. Let melt and serve immediately.
