Step 2: Brown the Beef

- Cook the beef: In a large skillet, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat. Break it apart as it cooks until it’s no longer pink, and your kitchen smells like taco night.
- Season: Drain any excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning. This is where the beef gets all its delicious, taco-y flavor. Set it aside for now while we work on the cheesy goodness.
Step 3: Make the Cheese Sauce
- Melt the butter: In the same pot you used for the pasta, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. We’re building the base for a seriously creamy sauce.
- Add milk and cream cheese: Slowly pour in 1 cup of milk, then add 8 oz of softened cream cheese. Whisk until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and inviting.
- Stir in cheddar cheese: Now for the best part—add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and stir until it’s melted and the sauce is rich and creamy. Try not to drool into the pot!
Step 4: Combine Everything
- Mix in pasta and beef: Add the cooked pasta and seasoned ground beef to the cheese sauce. Stir in the can of drained diced tomatoes with green chilies, making sure everything is evenly coated in that cheesy goodness.
- Season and simmer: Taste your creation and season with salt and pepper as needed. Let everything simmer together for a couple of minutes so the flavors can meld beautifully.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Plate it up: Serve your Cheesy Taco Cream Cheese Pasta hot, garnished with your choice of chopped cilantro, diced green onions, and a dollop of sour cream if you’re feeling fancy.
- Optional sides: Pair with a refreshing green salad or some tortilla chips for extra crunch and fun.
