Taco Bake
(To make this healthier, I used whole wheat pasta. You can add more cheese and macaroni if you like. Serve this with a salad, carrot or celery sticks, or fruit; and you have a quick meal. It has that Mexican flavor, but is quick and easy.)1 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 pack taco seasoning mix
15-oz can tomato sauce
3 cups macaroni, cooked
8 oz sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Brown beef and onion in a skillet. Drain if needed. Stir in seasoning mix and tomato sauce. Heat mixture. Combine cooked macaroni, sour cream and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese. Spoon the macaroni mixture into a greased 13 X 9 pan. Top with the beef mixture and remaining cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 for 30 minutes.
I've started making my own taco seasoning. This is the recipe that I use. I love it because it's easily adapted to get the exact flavor you want.
