1/2
lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1
package (1 oz) Old El Paso® taco seasoning mix
2 1/4
cups water
1 1/2
cups uncooked wagon wheel pasta (5 1/2 oz)
1 1/2
cups Green Giant® Valley Fresh Steamers™ Niblets® frozen corn
1
can (15 oz) Progresso® kidney beans or pinto beans, drained, rinsed
1
medium tomato, chopped (3/4 cup)
1/2
cup sour cream
1
cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
1
tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 In 12-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until brown; drain.
  • 2 Stir seasoning mix, water, uncooked pasta, corn, beans and tomato into beef. Heat to boiling; stir. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; cook 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is desired doneness and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • 3 Stir in sour cream. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheese and chives. Cover; let stand 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.

This was quick to make, and very adaptable. Added 2 cans of sliced black olives and Rotel to the mix, left out corn. The only problem was that although there were about 4000 boxes of pasta in the store...no Wagon Wheels! Ended up using mini rigatoni which was unfortunate...they're thick and took forever to cook. The sour cream is a great touch and mellowed the flavor out a bit. Will definitely make again, but with a less dense pasta.

This was delicious! The pasta threw me off at first but I think that's what made the meal! We didn't have a tomato so we chopped up a red and green pepper and it still tasted good! We ate this with chips, like nachos and also just by itself. My two year old even ate this!!

I doubled the recipe,added rotel, and baked it in the oven after I mixed everything and cooked on the stove for about 15 minutes.The noodles did not seem to be cooking well on the stove. We add salsa to the top of ours before we ate it. Very good everyone in my family enjoyed it. I will be making it again soon!!!
