Here’s an easy casserole to make for a busy night!
Baked Mexican Goulash
1 box dried macaroni or rotini pasta
1 pound ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 pint chili beans
1/2 cup salsa
1 small can sliced black olives
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole and taco sauce for topping
Cook dried pasta according to package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, in a large skillet, brown the ground beef until no longer pink; drain.
Return the browned beef to the skillet, and add the package of taco seasoning according to the package instructions. Cook for a few minutes to incorporate the seasoning into the meat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, ground beef mixture, tomatoes, chili beans and salsa. Stir to thoroughly combine.
Pour pasta mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Evenly spread the sliced olives over the top of the pasta. Top the casserole with the shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake at 350° for about 40 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely brown on top and the casserole is bubbly. Top each serving with shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole and taco sauce.
