Several months ago I was trying to think of some quick new recipes that used ingredients that I typically have in the pantry. I happened to have some leftover Velveeta, so I wanted to include it too. I was reminded about an Enchilada pasta at a restaurant that I used to love, so this is what I came up with:
Ingredients:
- 1lb ground turkey (or beef)
- 8oz whole wheat penne pasta (or any other pasta)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 15oz can corn, drained
- 1 15oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 10oz can rotel, drained
- 4oz velveeta
Directions:
- Brown meat.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to directions.
- Once meat is cooked, drain.
- Add water and seasoning to meat and stir.
- Add corn, beans, and rotel to meat.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add velveeta, stirring until completely melted.
- Add drained, cooked pasta.
This recipe makes about 6 servings, give or take a couple depending on how hungry you are. It makes delicious leftovers too!
