Tacos, meet Pasta. Pasta, meet Tacos. Taco Pasta is a tasty casserole made up of ground beef, pasta, onion, garlic, tomatoes, black beans, corn, taco seasoning, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese.

Ingredients:

    1 1/2 lb. ground beef
    1 box medium pasta shells
    1 small onion, diced
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1 can diced tomatoes with chilies
    ¾ can black beans
    1 can corn
    1 packages taco seasoning
    4 oz. vegan cream cheese
    1 bag vegan cheddar cheese
    Salt and pepper

Directions

1. Bring a pot of water to boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.

3. Add in the diced tomatoes with chilies, corn, beans, and taco seasoning. Stir to combine.
4. Add in the vegan cream cheese and half of the vegan cheddar cheese. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
