Easy Slow Cooker Taco Pasta

by Rebecca January 2, 2021

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 6 hrs | Total Time: 6 hrs 10 mins | Servings: 8

This delicious make-ahead pasta dish is so easy and quick to prep. My children’s favourite meal after school. Crazy delicious and comforting, you can even prepare this the night before and cook the next day when ready to serve. Try sneaking in some veggies, too, if you like.

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef

salt and pepper

1 bell pepper (chopped)

15 oz can crushed tomatoes

1 c jarred salsa (I used mild)

15 oz can corn (drained)

3 tbsp taco seasoning

2 ½ c water or low sodium chicken broth (I used one 14.5 oz can chicken broth plus enough water to total 2 ½ c)

12 oz shell pasta shapes (whole grain or white)

1 c shredded cheddar cheese

How to make Easy Slow Cooker Taco Pasta

Step 1: Over medium heat, heat a large skillet. Once hot, add the beef, then season with salt and pepper. Brown the beef, stirring often. When done, shift the beef to a slow cooker.

Step 2: Add bell peppers into the slow cooker along with crushed tomatoes, salsa, corn, taco seasoning, and broth or water. Stir well.

Step 3: Set on low and cook for 5 to 6 hours or 2 to 3 hours on high.

Step 4: Add the pasta and stir. Continue to cook for about 10 to 20 minutes on high. Note that the cooking time of pasta varies depending on the slow cooker. So start checking the pasta at 10 minutes mark.

Step 5: Finally, stir in the cheddar cheese. Serve and enjoy!
