crockpot taco pasta

This slow cooker taco pasta is one of my favorite family-friendly, make ahead dinner recipes! With ground beef, pasta shells, taco flavors and cheese, it&#39;s so comforting and satisfying. The best part is that it only takes 10 minutes to prep for the crockpot!

Easy Slow Cooker Taco Pasta

beef

salt and pepper

bell pepper (chopped)

can crushed tomatoes

jarred salsa (I used mild)

corn (drained)

taco seasoning

shell pasta shapes (uncooked) (whole wheat

cheddar cheese

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook the meat, crumbling it and stirring often, until browned. Drain off excess grease. Transfer beef to slow cooker.

Add the bell pepper, crushed tomatoes, salsa, corn, taco seasoning, and broth or water. Stir.

Cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours. (There will be lots of extra liquid. Don&#39;t worry, the liquid will be absorbed later when you add the pasta.)

Stir in the pasta and press it all down into the liquid. Cook on high for 15-30 minutes. Pasta cook time will vary by slow cooker. (If you did the initial cook time on the low setting, it will take longer for the crockpot to heat up to high, so the pasta will take longer to cook.)

Stir in the cheddar cheese and serve. It&#39;s delicious with a spoonful of sour cream, chopped fresh cilantro and more shredded cheddar.

My family did not like this at all. It was too thick, even after adding extra liquid. I don't see the purpose of using a crockpot when you can cook it on the stovetop in a shorter amount of time. I won't be making this again.

Delicious.  I used some fire-roasted corn I had in the freezer, and fire-roasted tomatoes.  They added a nice flavor.

I made this last night and it was a hit!!! Well definitely make it again!! Thank you for the recipe

Made the vegetarian version last night and I will be making it again! I cut down on the pasta and added a can of chopped green chilies. So good! Froze the leftovers for lunch at work. Thank you!

Just made this again tonight and had to tell you that I used your taco seasoning recipe and it came out so good! Plus, I used fire roasted corn. I just love this recipe!

Made this tonight with jumbo shells and ate it with sour cream. Next time I will serve it with cornbread. The whole family loved it! Thank you for the recipe! &lt;3

Loved this recipe! I made it in my small crock pot and just divided the ingredients in half. I added an onion as well. I may add spinach next time for some greens or avocado topping.
