Taco Pasta

When I was in college and living with 3 other girls we had a staple meal in our house that we called "Slop". Not a very appetizing name, but a delicious meal! We had a friend that worked at K-Mart and they had a HUGE shipment of mac-n-cheese that was damaged (the boxes dented just a bit) that they were not able to sell, so we had an abundance of mac-n-cheese and started to experiment with it ... and that's how we came up with Slop!!

I made it one night for dinner from scratch and it was a hit at our house! Jeff said it was SO much better than what we made in college ... and Lydia ate every last bite of her bowl! Yippee! Jeff doesn't like the name "Slop" so I told him we could call it "Taco Pasta".

Noodles

1 lb. ground hamburger meat (or you can use turkey)

Taco Seasoning

1 Can Corn

1 Can R0-Tel

1 Can Black Beans (rinsed and drained)

Velveeta Cheese ( I just used a small chunk ... you can use how ever much you want!)

1. Bring water to boil and cook noodles (I used No Yolk Egg Noodles). Drain water after they've cooked.

2. Cook hamburger meat. Once browned, add taco seasoning and water and let simmer for a couple minutes.

3. While simmering, add corn, Ro-Tel and black beans.

4. Right before you are ready to serve, add meat mixture and Velveeta cheese to noodles and mix well.

**If you want, you can serve with salsa on top**
