This is one of those freezer and pantry diving “what’s for dinner?” excursions. I had half a pound of ground beef. That’s it. There is not much that can be done in this household of carnivores with just half a pound of ground beef. So I added in some beans and…other stuff, tossed in pasta and cheese and made a nice skillet mac. Serves 4 at Calories 577.09 and Fat 19 g.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
- 1.25 cups rotel
- 1 cup black beans
- 1 cup corn
- 3/4 cup red peppers, diced
- 8 oz. 2% Velveeta
- 4 oz. brown rice pasta
- 1 tsp southwest seasoning (mine was from Penzey’s)
Directions:
1. Boil pasta according to package directions.
2. Brown ground beef, drain and rinse.
3. Dice your Velveeta.
4. Add pasta, Velveeta, beef, and all veggies to a large skillet and stir over medium low heat until cheese is melty and all ingredients are well combined.
5. Serve immediately.

YUMMMMM, I can’t wait to try this – and gluten-free isn’t a must for me.
It can certainly be made with normal pasta if you don’t have the GF limitation 🙂
You had me at Velveeta. 🙂 Can’t wait to try it!
