Description
A quick and easy one-pot meal featuring pasta, ground beef, black beans, and a delicious taco seasoning sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g small pasta, such as elbow macaroni
- 400 g ground beef
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until well browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
- Add the drained black beans, corn kernels, taco seasoning, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir in the uncooked pasta and bring to a simmer.

- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or hot sauce.
