Preparation
Step 1
Boil pasta, don't over cook it as you will be baking it later. I like rigatoni and ziti for this recipe, but any big noodles will do.
Step 2
While pasta is cooking, brown ground beef.
Step 3
When ground beef is cooked through add taco seasoning mixed with 1C water and let simmer.
Step 4
When ground beef is ready add approx. half a pkg of cream cheese and stir until melted and mixed in.
Step 5
When pasta is ready drain and run cold water over it.
Step 6
In a casserole dish add cooked pasta, stir in some shredded cheese, the ground beef mixture, top with more cheese, leave uncovered and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.
