Well, time is running short before dinner tonight and I only finished half of the grocery shopping yesterday so options are limited. Time for taco pasta -- one of the few dishes we serve in the Myers Kitchen that everyone eats! I am not a Hambuger Helper fan but this is pretty good for a not-casserole-lover. The kids love it! (They are big on noodles and casseroles).
Taco Pasta...Our version of homemade hamburger helper
2 1/2 c elbow noodles (I use organic, whole wheat)
1 Package Simply Organic Taco Seasoning mix
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 t garlic powder
1 lb ground turkey or beef (preferably organic, grass fed)
1 cup milk
1 1/2 c water
4-6 oz cheddar, shredded
Ground meat in large pot or saucepan. Add elbows and all other ingredients except cheese. Stir together, bring to boiling, reduce to simmer and cover, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes or until noodles are softened. Turn off stove, add cheese and stir.
You may add toppings if you desire -- Tony and I prefer some extries, but the kids do not. It's really yummy with organic sour cream, chopped tomatoes and black olives or maybe even some salsa or guac!
Serves 6
