“Can't decide between taco night and pasta night? Make both. Kid-friendly and pantry-friendly.”
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks (5–7 minutes). Drain excess grease if necessary.
Sprinkle taco seasoning over beef and stir to coat.
Pour in diced tomatoes with green chilies and beef broth. Bring to a boil.
Stir in dry pasta. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.
Remove from heat. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Place lid back on for 2 minutes until cheese is completely melted. Serve hot with your favorite taco toppings.
For extra hidden veggies, stir in a handful of frozen corn or diced bell peppers when you add the broth.
