Ingredients
- 1 Dan-O’s Tac-O Seasoning Packet- Mild
- 1 lb ground beef, turkey, or chicken
- 1 cup chicken or beef broth
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 8oz can of tomato sauce
- 2 cups of elbow noodles
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
- 1 can of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
Preparation Instructions
- Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until it's nicely browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease, then stir in a packet of Dan-O’s Tac-O Seasoning Packet - Mild.
- Pour in the undrained can of Ro-Tel, followed by the broth, milk, and tomato sauce. Give everything a good stir and crank the heat up to medium-high until the mixture starts to simmer.
- Stir in the noodles, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let everything cook for 10–15 minutes. Give it a stir every few minutes so the pasta cooks evenly and nothing sticks to the bottom.
- Once the noodles are tender, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it's completely melted into a creamy, cheesy sauce.
- Spoon it into bowls and serve it hot! Yum Yum Get Ya Sum!®
