Macaroni Taco bake


Well another visit to Facebook and another recipe.  This time it was my sister-in-law, Kim, that posted this.

I knew it would be something that I would enjoy.  And I have.

Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
15 oz can diced tomatoes
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
3 cups elbow macaroni, cooked
8 oz container sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish: green onions, chopped

Stuff you will need

Dutch Oven
Colander
Mixing bowl
Cheese grater
Heat resistant spoon
Cutting board
Sharp knife
9 x 14 inch baking dish
Pam cooking spray

Directions

Cook your macaroni in the dutch oven and drain in the colander.

Combine cooked macaroni, sour cream and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese in a bowl. Spoon macaroni mixture into a lightly greased 9 x 14 inch baking pan. 

Brown beef in the same dutch oven, over medium heat. Once the hamburger is cooked, stir in diced tomatoes and seasoning mix.  Continue to cook till it's bubbly.

Top the macaroni with beef mixture

Top the ground beef with the remaining cheese and onions. 

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Pro Tip, you can avoid the layers and just mix everything in the dutch oven (one less item to clean up).  This what I did in the picture, above.  But if your looking for a more aesthetically pleasing dish, do the layers.

Your comments and suggestions are ALWAYS welcome.
