Published on March 7, 2010, by in Recipes, Uncategorized.

While I love Mexican food, I can never get my boys to eat anything other than cheese quesadillas.  Not wanting to make separate dinners for the adults and the children, I discovered away to make it work – Mexican pasta bake. This twist on tacos let’s me enjoy the flavors I love, while also meeting the approval of my boys. INGREDIENTS 1lb lean ground beef 1 can Red Gold Petite Diced Tomatoes w/ Chipotle (Ro*tel tomatoes w/green chili’s would work too) 1.5 cups shredded cheese – nacho/Mexican variety works best 1 box spiral/penne/elbow noodles (your choice) 1 package taco seasoning 1 red or yellow bell pepper, diced DIRECTIONS Prepare the ground beef, adding your diced bell pepper when the beef is about 1/2 way done.  After browning, add taco seasoning, following directions on the packet. On another burner, prepare your pasta according to the directions
