Taco Casserole

I am always trying new recipes and especially ones that are quick and easy.  I only put them on my blog if I think they are blog worthy.  To me this was good but not blog worthy.  But wait a minute, if you are feeding children, it is another story.  My grandkids loved this and went back for seconds and thirds and wanted to take the leftovers home to warm up.  So what do I know!!

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 8 oz. macaroni, cooked
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 (10 3/4 oz.) can condensed tomato soup
• 1 (14 1/2 oz.) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (1 1/4 oz.) pkg. taco seasoning mix
• 4 oz. shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
• Sour cream (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook pasta al dente.  Drain

In a large skillet, cook and stir ground beef and onion over medium heat until brown.  Mix in tomato soup, diced tomatoes and taco seasoning mix.  Stir in pasta.

Spoon beef mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.  Sprinkle crumbled chips and grated cheese on top.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the cheese is melted.  Serve with sour cream and extra shredded cheese.

Serves 8 to 10.  (Depending on the size of your boys.)
