Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 Tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef stock
  • 4 ounce can green chiles (don't drain)
  • 1 pound pasta shells
  • 1 cup rinsed black beans
  • 1 cup frozen corn (doesn't need to be thawed)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • sour cream
  • cilantro

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil and onions. Saute for about 3 minutes, until they start to soften. Add ground beef and break up with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and cook until no longer pink.
  • Stir in tomato sauce, beef stock and green chiles with the liquid. Bring to a simmer then add the pasta. Simmer for 3 minutes less than the pasta package directions. Add corn and black beans and cook another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese. Portion into bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream and cilantro.
