Easy Cheesy Beef and Bow Ties


Ingredients

6 oz. (2 1/2 cups) uncooked bow tie pasta (farfalle)
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1 cup salsa
6 oz. (1 1/2 cups) shredded Cheddar and American cheese blend

Directions

1. Cook pasta as directed on package. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, in a12-in nonstick skillet, brown ground beef over medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Drain.
3. Reserve 2 tablespoons onions for garnish; stir remaining onions, the soup and salsa into beef. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 5 minutes.
4. Stir in cooked pasta; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with reserved 2 tablespoons
 green onions.


This recipe was so easy! Excellent for a work night. I made a few slight changes to fit the ingredients I had. Instead of Cheddar cheese soup, I used a can of Southwest Style Pepper Jack soup. (It gave it a little kick!) I also used a yellow onion instead of the green onions and rather than reserve any, I put them all in at the same time. I used shredded sharp cheddar instead of the Cheddar and American blend. Enjoy!
