Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Cook the pasta in a large stockpot of salted water, according to package directions for al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic about 7 to 8 minutes until the beef is no longer pink. Use a wooden spoon to break the beef up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and return the beef to the skillet over low heat.

Add the cooked pasta and the remaining ingredients, except the Mexican cheese to the skillet and stir until well combined.

Transfer the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle the Mexican cheese evenly over the top.

Bake uncovered in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through.
