For perfectly seasoned and juicy beef every time, consider checking doneness with a ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat your SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher until browned, about 4–5 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Add onions, garlic, and bell pepper; cook for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently until vegetables are softened.
- Stir in taco seasoning and cook for 1 minute, allowing spices to bloom. Add pasta, beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juices), and corn. Stir to combine.
- Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 12–14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most liquid is absorbed.
- Remove lid, sprinkle cheese over the top, and cover again for 2 minutes to allow cheese to melt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with your favorite toppings, serve hot, and enjoy!
