Creamy Taco Mac

Ingredients:

1 1/4 lb. ground meat (I used 1 lb. ground turkey, 1/4 lb. ground beef as that’s what I had)

8 oz. dry pasta + 1 cup reserved pasta water

1 can (14.5 oz.) petite diced tomatoes

4 Tbsp. mild taco seasoning

3 oz. cream cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

S & P

Cheddar Cheese to taste

Directions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook pasta per directions.  Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.

Over medium heat, brown meat until no longer pink.  Drain and add taco seasoning and diced tomatoes.  Allow to simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.  Add cooked pasta, reserved water, cream cheese and sour cream.  Stir until cheese and cream is incorporated and melted.  Simmer over low heat about 3 minutes.  Season with S & P as desired.  Top off with desired amount of cheddar cheese.
