Ingredients
Scale
8 oz elbow macaroni
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup corn
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded cheese
1 cup crushed Doritos
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the elbow macaroni and cook until al dente (usually about 7-8 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Brown the meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook it until it’s no longer pink, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Mix in the flavors: Stir in the taco seasoning and cook according to package instructions. Add the diced tomatoes (with juices), black beans, and corn into the skillet. Mix well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Combine it all: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained pasta with the savory meat mixture, sour cream, and 1 ½ cups of shredded cheese. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer to a baking dish: Pour the pasta mix into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese and the crushed Doritos on top.
Bake it: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and bubbly.
Garnish and serve: Let it cool for a few minutes. Top with fresh cilantro, if desired.
