Description

I whipped this up one night when my evening plans were cancelled and I needed a quick dinner to feed my family. It turns out that it tastes very similar to a dish at a local restaurant, which is where my dish got its name.

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces, weight Pasta, I Used Elbow
  • 1-⅓ pound Ground Turkey
  • 1 whole Medium Onion
  • 1 whole Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 package (1 Oz. Packet) Taco Seasoning
  • ⅔ cups Water
  • 4 Tablespoons Butter
  • ⅓ cups Flour
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Plus Some For Topping
  • 1 cup Salsa
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Can) Black Beans, Rinsed And Drained
  • ½ cups Fresh Or Frozen Corn

Preparation

Boil pasta according to package directions. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Brown the turkey in a skillet. Add onion and bell pepper. Cook on medium high heat until onions begin to turn translucent. Add taco seasoning and 2/3 cup water. Turn heat down to a simmer.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a sauce pan. Once melted, add flour and whisk until mixture begins to thicken and bubble. Add milk. Whisk occasionally until it boils. Remove from heat. Add 2 cups or so of cheese, stirring constantly until sauce is combined.

Mix cheese sauce, salsa, black beans, corn, and cooked pasta, and meat sauce together in a casserole dish. Sprinkle with a bit more cheese.

Bake casserole in the oven for 15 or so minutes or until cheese is beginning to get golden.
