Cheesy Taco Pasta

Used vegan mince. No salsa so subbed fresh tomatoes and tomato paste

it was ok, I would make it in a pinch used soy chorizo instead

Making a few changes next time but still really good

Added more cheese that it asked for and added a little bit of milk so the extra cheese melted. Was super good!!

Delicious! But don't be like me and read the instructions word for word.. separate the cooked pasta when cooking the ground beef! 🤦‍♀️

This turned out so good! I made a huge batch and froze separately in lasagna dishes for future dinners, then saved the rest and had it two nights later. It tasted really good!

TLDR - Don't forget the Fritos!! Had it again last night and forgot to buy Fritos as a topper. It just wasn't as good without that added crunch. I wish corn chips were listed as an optional ingredient so that they would be added to the shopping list the app creates from the ingredient list. Side note - I'm probably the only person in my family who thinks this recipe is spicy.

Taco seasoning is quite hot for kids. Use sour cream to cool it down

I too did not follow the recipe. Meat got replaced with 2 cans of garbanzo beans because that's all I had and the meat went bad lol. Pretty good veggie sub?

I added quarter of a tub of cream cheese sp it wasn't too stringy with the grated cheese. Tastes phenomenal 😊😊

Used elbow macaroni which seemed to dilute the taco flavor, but may have also kept it from too salty. 5 child review was mixed. Leftovers were solid for a couple days after. Will make again

Was pretty awesome! I used Elbow noodles and ground turkey. I added Tortilla chips to mine. Used pineapple salsa. Used double the recipe but added 3/4 ×2 of heavy cream with the water to make it more creamy

This was so good. My family really enjoyed it too will definitely be making again😄

This was great. Thanks.

The salsa is such a nice touch, made this for my family and they all loved it!

This has become a go to meal I'm my home. I add a whole box of pasta, diced tomatoes a cup and a half of salsa and 2 and half cups cheese.

I added a can of Rotel diced tomatoes to jazz it up and it was so good!

Used spaghetti because we didn’t have shells in. Delicious go to meal for an easy tea which pleases all the family.

came out really good made the 8 servings came out to 3 big serving sizes and for the pasta i did 2/1 cups might want to add more if you are more of a pasta than meat fan

I did double the recipe. But added heavy cream and cream cheese, like someone suggested. I also added onions to the meat

Super easy- 👌

Added a bit of Colby jack cheese to ours in addition. This was surprising good and super simple. Family loves it

I added onions green peppers and 3 cheesy Cheddar cheese.

delicious!

So good! I used hot and spicy taco mix. This was loved by all!

Omg so good! I doubled everything except the taco seasoning, so 1 lbs noodles, 2 lbs hamburger, 2 cups salsa and I did 3/4 cup water 3/4 cup heavy cream. I also added 4 oz cream cheese at the same time I added the water/cream. Don't ask how much cheddar because, well... We love our cheese around this house and there was a lot added to this. Anyway it came out fantastic! Husbands a huge fan so I will be making it again. And it's even tastier the next day!

Really easy. Just a few ingredients required. Great for a night you need to pull dinner together quickly. I stirred in some sour cream.

It's definitely a quick, go-to meal! And cheap!! Everyone liked it.

It was really good has a little kick to it but other wise definitely recommend ☺️

I make this a lot as my kids love it. Sometimes they make it as is, as it is nice and simple. I always add veg when I make it, varying every time: onions, mushrooms, peppers, grated carrots, corn, any variety of beans, etc. I double the amount of salsa. Last time we used a new salsa which was quite spicy which was delicious. Try a smoked cheese, or adding fresh chopped cilantro as a garnish. Yum!

This recipe is a keeper!

It was okay not an everyday type of meal there were too many noodles

This tasted really nice and was easy to make. Me, my partner and my kids all enjoyed it. It wasn't spicy at all in my opinion. It was very filling though. Will definitely make this again

Easy recipe! Taste delicious!! I added extra cheese on top with chives.

This was very good! We added 3/4 cp of queso cheese to this recipe and had no regrets!

Love this. Used to make something similar, so super happy I found this. Used powder cheese (buy on Amazon) and added fresh tomatoes. Also used lentil pasta for added protein.

Used small shelves because that's all the store had. One child suggested some sour cream or some cream cheese added to it.

Easy and loved by all the family. Served with carrot and celery sticks.

I switched out the noodle for my toddler. This recipe is great.

Kids loved it! Great Taco Tuesday meal.

Added more spices, more cheese and extra Salsa on top as it was abit dry. Nice quick and easy meal though all in all.

I took the advice of others and added more salsa, chili powder, onion powder, black beans and corn. It was pretty good. Will make it again.

Pasta was good and the kids liked it, but I didn’t enjoy it myself. Maybe it’s because of my picky pallets but it felt like something was missing. My partner suggested more cheese next time or salsa but whatever it was it felt a little lacking.

Pretty good! Could use a smidge more flavor though.

A bit bland without the salsa but super easy and can together quick!

Really easy to make and yummy! Came out better than expected. I used an onion, added some cream and extra cheese like some of the notes said prior. Definitely will be adding this to our regular meals

Not much flavor

So easy and delish!!! A must have. I am thoroughly impressed

I added extra cheese, a little bit of milk when I added the cheese and then added the shells at the end. Also used black bean and corn salsa and it was SO GOOD!

Added abit of chilli powder, gave it more flavour

I added 100ml cream after putting the sauce with the pasta and cooked an onion before the mince. Also used nacho seasoning instead of taco but was a little warmer 🌶️ than expected

Added an onion and cooked until tender before adding burger.

Add more cheese and salsa

I put more salsa and cheese in the recipe, I would add more spices to the pasta.

cant go wronge quick and taste great

Fast and easy to make!! Added other spices also. Very good!!

I made it correctly this time, and it is even better than the first time. This will for sure be a go-to maybe weekly. Move over Taco Tuesday!

I personally added extra salsa and cheese since it was trying to dry out.

10/10 all around

I changed the shells to whole wheat penne, I added diced green chilies, and sour cream. and crumbled cool ranch Doritos on top!

Recipe was easy and tastes so good!

Didn't have any cheddar cheese so I used Velveeta shells and cheese instead. It was really easy and delicious!

Taste is great and easy to make. My kids like it with Doritos

Added a but more spice to it

Maybe add green chilies but otherwise good!

I doubled the recipe for Tacos and just used the leftovers to make the pasta and it turned out really good 👍

I found it a bit bland.. will maybe make again with extra spices. The kids loved it though

I ended up using a full cup of water and doubling the noodles. I then ajusted the salsa and cheese accordingly. I think it needs some extra flavor , I just don't know what.

Needs a cup of water instead of 3/4. It didn't dilute the seasoning enough. Otherwise it's a nice quick and easy recipe. Good for weeknights.

It is good. Maybe add an 8oz can of tomato sauce to the meat to help coat pasta. Extra spices can help.

It was good for the amount of time and ingredients. Wouldn’t make often though.

Devoured by my partner! He loves it.

Kids didn't love it

We used a berry salsa which gave it a yummy flavor.

A little extra salsa on top with some sour cream, delicious!

I doubled the salsa and noodles, added some diced onion and sautéed garlic. Very good and lots of leftovers for the next night.

Having tomatoes, lettuce & sour cream on the side makes this dish so yummy!

My son, 12 (also commented on this) made this by himself. It was delicious and he did a great job!

Im 12 this is my second dish and i whould 100%make this again

Super yummy! I doubled the recipe and used one jar of Herdez salsa as it's my favorite, and it was sooooo good!

Delicious and super easy!

Definitely a good recipe. It is very dry if you follow the recipe exactly. Instead of the Salsa, I did a can of Pasta Sauce which helped significantly. I then put it in a dish and baked it with the cheese on top at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. This made it a lot better. Next time, I would've added more taco seasoning with more water, to give it more of a taco taste. The pasta sauce made it taste sweet which was weird.

This was good. A little bit spicy from the salsa. My daughter said that it needs corn, so I might add some next time.

Tastes like a much better crunchy taco hamburger helper.

Quick and easy for a lot of food as well!

This was good, very easy, definitely make again

nice, cheap and quick meal with lots of leftovers

I couldn’t pick so so. We had less of the salsa in ours which probably made it more bland. But I can’t handle spice. Also the pasta with the chips makes the textures a bit odd as well. But it’s ok and probably better with following the exact recipe. No pic sorry I keep forgetting them. .

Amazing, was definitely a hit with me and my partner. Added a few herbes and spices in too! Will be making again!

We all loved it! I added a block of cream cheese and used Rotel instead of salsa

It's just another recipe of pasta, nothing special.

My husband and I loved it!! I did add a little more cheese. A quick, easy and tasty meal. 😋

10/10

It was really good! I opted for mixing my own taco spice blend and also added half of a yellow onion and fiesta blend cheese. Really how it tastes will come down to what salsa and cheese you use.

Next time I may add a little extra.. Something? It was great but was missing that extra kick. Maybe Chipotle power?

Quick, Easy and Filling. Would make again.

It was delicious. I added 5 strips of bacon chopped and onion. The best pasta dish I ever made

It was delicious. Definitely a hit

We made it into a casserole and it was really good I would make it again and it was so fun to make

It was soooo delicious, I added more salsa and cheese for my liking, and topped it with jalapeños and sour cream and parsley and served with cheese doritos as a side!!!@@

I doubled it, and used my own taco seasoning mix, and added maybe 1/8 if a cup cream and a splash of water at the end.

I added a little more cheese, but it was simple and fairly quick dinner

Added 1 more cup cheese and one extra tablespoon taco seasoning.

I chose makes leftovers because it would for most people, however my partner loved it so much he ate all but the single serve I had haha I'd say it's more like 4 serves than 8 serves though. Unless you're having it as a side dish. Fantastic and super simple recipe to make

Changed it as a spaghetti
