A delightful twist on a classic taco-inspired dish, combining creamy cheese and flavorful beef with pasta.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced onion and ground beef.
Ensure the beef is browned evenly for the best flavor.
Add the diced bell pepper and cook until softened.
Cut the bell pepper into small, even pieces for consistent cooking.
Stir in the taco seasoning, water, and corn, and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water until al dente, then drain.
Save a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Add the cream cheese and shredded cheddar to the beef mixture and stir until melted and creamy.
Stir continuously to prevent the cheese from sticking to the pan.
Combine the pasta with the beef mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Chopped cilantro or parsley makes a great garnish.
