this casserole is easily adaptable - use Mexican Blend cheese instead of cheddar, or chopped jalapenos for lots of heat. We prefer it made with the mild chilies. Really good for a church potluck - I always leave with an empty dish. Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef |
1 small onion, chopped |
3/4 cup water |
1 package taco seasoning |
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1 (8 ounce) package shell macaroni, cooked and drained |
4 ounces chopped green chilies (mild) |
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided |
Directions:
1. Brown ground beef and onion over medium heat; drain.
2. Add the water, taco seasoning and tomato sauce.
3. Mix well.
4. Bring to a boil.
5. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
6. Stir in macaroni, chilies and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese.
7. Pour into a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
8. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
9. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
