Ingredients
- 1 pound pasta
- 1 pound ground beef chicken or turkey (leftovers work great here too)
- 29 oz can tomato sauce
- 16 oz jar salsa
- 15 oz can black beans rinsed & drained
- 15 oz can corn drained
- 8 oz or more shredded cheese - reserve 1/2 cup
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- pinch of black pepper
- pinch of chipotle powder optional
- sour cream to serve
- optional toppings - avocado slices, gucamole, hot sauce, salsa, lettuce, tomato, cilantro
Instructions
- Start pasta first. Cook until al dente. (I prefer to do this in a large pot/stock pot so I can mix everything in it afterwards. Saves washing a mixing bowl)
- Preheat oven to 350° and spray/grease a deep 13x9 casserole dish.
- In the meantime, brown, crumble & drain ground beef.
- Combine pasta, ground beef, tomato sauce, salsa, black beans, cheese, corn and all seasonings.
- Scrape into greased casserole dish.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Sprinkle reserved shredded cheese and bake 5 minutes or until melted.
- Serve with sour cream - a must! We also love this with hot sauce, additional salsa, fresh snipped cilantro, gucamole or avocado slices....
- Enjoy!
