Ingredients

• 1 Lb Ground Beef
• 1 Pouch Cheesey Taco Seasoning
• 2 Cups Beef Broth
• 1 Cup Milk
• 1 Cup Water (Optional)
• 8 oz Rotini Pasta
• 1/3 Cup Dehydrated Onion (Or 1/2 onion diced thin)
• 1 Tsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 1/2 Tbs Dried Basil
• Pinch Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

Cooking Directions

1. In a large skillet with the onion, fry the beef until brown. Drain if desired.
2. Stir in cheesy taco seasoning, worcestershire sauce, basil and crushed red pepper flakes. Pour in beef broth and stir. Slowly pour in milk and stir.
3. Bring mixture to boil and add pasta. Lower heat to medium-low and keep pasta simmering. Cook for about 10-12 minutes (or according to pasta's directions), stirring every few minutes. Keep a cup of water on the side and add in as necessary. You want the sauce to thicken but you don't want it to dry out.
4. Remove pan from heat and let pasta and sauce sit 5 minutes before serving.
