\n1 packet of taco seasoning + 1 cup water or milk
\nOptional: Add 1\/2 cup cream cheese, sour cream, or half and half for a creamier sauce

\n2.Using your dutch oven or a cast iron skillet, brown meat. When done, drain any fat.
\n3.Add your cooked pasta to the drained meat. (If you don\u2019t have a dutch oven or cast iron skillet, you can move everything to a casserole dish.) Then layer with meat.
\n4.Next sprinkle the seasoning packet over the meat then pour water over top. Next add salsa.
\n5.Give everything a stir to mix ingredients together then top with shredded cheese.
\n6.Bake in the oven at 400\u02da for about 18-22 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.
\n7.Serve with any taco-style toppings you\u2019d like. See above post for ideas!
