This easy one pot meal is a crowd pleaser even for the pickiest of eaters. It's a huge hit with the family when I make it and there are never leftovers. The original recipe was from Canadian Moms Cook but I adjusted it so it's easy to make in an Instapot or Ninja Foodi
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or ground sausage shopping list
- 1 c water shopping list
- 1 packet taco seasoning shopping list
- 4 oz cream cheese shopping list
- 3 cups beef broth or water shopping list
- 2/3 package rigatoni or pasta of your choice (I use Trader Joe's Rigatoni) shopping list
- 1 - 1 1/2 c shredded Mexican cheese or cheese of your choice (I used reduced fat) shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat Ninja Foodi on high sauté. Add beef, crumble and cook until browned. Drain meat if you prefer (I use a papertowel straight in the pot to save a strainer). Add water and seasoning packet. Simmer on medium sauté until most of liquid is absorbed, about 5 mins. Add cream cheese in small cubes and stir until incorporated. Add broth and then pasta to the pot. Submerge pasta into liquid but do not stir. Pressure cook for 5 minutes on high. Once done, quick release the steam. Add 1 c cheese to the pasta and stir. Set to bake @ 350 for 15 minutes. Stir. Optional: add remaining cheese to top of pasta and broil until brown and bubbly on top about 2 minutes.
