Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Add salsa, corn, and taco seasoning. Season meat sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in pasta and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine the meat sauce, pasta, Colby-Jack cheese, and green onions in a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

  • In a 4-quart chicken fryer, heat approximately 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the onions until they begin to soften.
  • Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
  • Add the ground beef and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning. Using your spatula, break up the ground beef and stir until cooked. Drain the excess liquid from the pan.
  • Add water, beef stock, pasta, tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning back to the pan. Stir to combine.
  • Cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring twice to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Increase heat to medium after 15 minutes, and stir pasta until most of the liquid is gone.
  • Turn off heat and add the shredded cheese. Stir until cheese is completely melted.
  • Top with green onions.
  • Enjoy!
