Ingredients
Scale:· 4 servings
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni or small pasta
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained
- 1/2 cup corn kernels

Instructions
- 1In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the onion, breaking it up as it cooks, about 6 to 7 minutes, then drain excess fat.

- 3Add the uncooked pasta directly to the skillet, stir to submerge it in the liquid, cover, and simmer for 12 to 14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender.
- 4Stir in the black beans and corn and cook for another 2 minutes until warmed through.
- 5Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top, cover, and let it melt for 2 minutes off the heat.
