Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the diced tomatoes, black olives, taco seasoning, and pasta.

2. Make sure the pasta is all wet. I usually have to add at least another half can of water (I use the diced tomato can). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until pasta is tender, adding more water again if necessary.

3. Stir in the cheddar cheese. Cover and simmer for 3-4 minutes or until heated through. Serve with sour cream if desired.
