How To Make queso taco pasta bake
-
1Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
-
2In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Beat in flour, salt and pepper with whisk until bubbly. (I added the salt and pepper to the flour with a pinch of cayenne before adding to butter). Slowly beat in broth. Increase heat to high. Cook, beating until thickened. Stir in Cheddar cheese and cooking sauce. Remove from heat; set cheese sauce aside.
-
3Cook pasta as directed on box.
-
4In 10-inch skillet, cook beef, onion and cumin over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Drain; stir in salsa.
-
5Drain cooked pasta; return to pasta pot. Add beef mixture and cheese sauce; stir to combine. Pour into baking dish; sprinkle evenly with Mexican cheese blend.
-
6Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until bubbly. Serve immediately.
-
7MY CHANGES TO RECIPE: I completely omitted the salsa. Instead of adding cooking sauce to cheese sauce I added it to the beef mixture
