Mexican Italian fusion macaroni bake with seasoned beef and creamy sour cream.
Ingredients:
  • 200g dried macaroni pasta
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red capsicum, deseeded, finely chopped
  • 500g Beef 3 Star Regular Mince
  • 30g sachet taco seasoning
  • 375g jar mild thick and chunky salsa
  • 180ml (3/4 cup) cheese pasta bake sauce
  • 100g (1 cup) pre-grated pizza cheese
  • 125g (1/2 cup) Light Sour Cream
  • 125g cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • 2 green shallots, chopped
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan forced. Boil pasta in salted water following package instructions until al dente, then drain.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and capsicum until softened, about 5 minutes. Add beef and cook while breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the taco seasoning into the pan and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the pasta, salsa, and cheese sauce. Season to taste. Cook until heated through and well mixed. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, level the top, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  • Top the dish with a dollop of tangy sour cream, juicy tomato slices, creamy avocado slices, and flavorful diced shallot.
