**Easy Taco Mac Recipe**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound of ground beef
– 1 small onion, diced
– 1 packet of taco seasoning
– 1 can (14.5 oz) of diced tomatoes
– 2 cups of beef broth
– 1 cup of elbow macaroni
– 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
– Optional toppings: sour cream, sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro
**Instructions:**
1. In a large skillet or sauté pan, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and crumbled, about 5-6 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
2. Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
3. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef and onions, stirring well to combine and evenly coat the mixture with the seasoning.
4. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and beef broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Stir in the elbow macaroni, ensuring it is fully submerged in the liquid. Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is cooked to al dente.
6. Once the macaroni is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover the skillet and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
7. Serve the Taco Mac hot, straight from the skillet, with optional toppings such as sour cream, jalapeños, or cilantro for added flair. Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors!
