This easy Taco Pasta combines all the delicious flavors of tacos like seasoned ground beef, onions, garlic, tomatoes, cheddar, and Monterey Jack Cheese with pasta in a luscious creamy cheesy sauce. It comes together quickly and easily in one pot making it doable for those busy weeknight meals. This is a hearty meal in itself but if company is coming or if I have hearty eaters I like to serve this with Queso Fundido and Doritos Taco Salad.
