One-Pot Taco Rigatoni

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

1 lb extra-lean (at least 90%) ground beef
1 package (1 oz) taco seasoning mix
2 cups uncooked rigatoni pasta
1 can (4.5 oz) chopped green chilies
1 jar (24 oz) Thick 'n Chunky salsa
2 cups water
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

1 Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add beef; cook until brown, crumbling as it cooks.

2 Add taco seasoning mix, stirring to coat beef. Add pasta, chilies, salsa and water, stirring to combine. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to simmering. Cover; cook about 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until pasta is tender.

3 Remove from heat; stir in cheese. Cover; let stand for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

4 Sprinkle with cilantro just before serving.

Tips:

When you're using extra-lean ground beef, there is no need to drain fat.

Top with freshly diced tomatoes, sour cream or any of your other favorite taco toppings!
