I’m telling you, it’s not the prettiest dish on the block, but it makes for a hearty and delicious meal.
My family loves it and I tend to grab all ingredients for this one each time I am at the grocery store (especially if I see any of them on sale) because it’s one of those recipes that I can make in a pinch and still know that everyone will be excited about dinner.
My kids love to hear the words Taco Pasta!! *it’s also a great recipe for kids who are just learning to cook, both of my kids enjoy making this one!
