Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons Homemade Taco Seasoning (or 1 packet store-bought)
  • 1 (16-ounce) jar salsa (mild, medium or hot)
  • 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can black beans (rinsed & drained)
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen corn
  • 8 ounces farfalle (bow-tie pasta)
  • 1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • Fresh minced cilantro (for garnish (optional))

Instruction

  • Set a large skillet, pan, pot, or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking apart and stirring as the meat cooks. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute or two until fragrant.
  • Drain the grease from the pot and sprinkle the cooked meat with taco seasoning. Add the salsa, beef broth, black beans, corn, and pasta; stir well to combine. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then stir and reduce to a simmer. Simmer, covered, for 11 to 13 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed. Stir in the grated cheese, sprinkle with cilantro (if desired), and serve immediately.
