Tex-Mex beef and pasta bake featuring zesty Old El Paso™ enchilada sauce and seasoning mix with Muir Glen™ tomatoes for a delicious dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 3 cups uncooked cavatappi pasta (9 oz)
  • 1 container (15 oz) refrigerated beef roast au jus
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 large red bell peppers, coarsely chopped
  • 1 can (16 oz) chili beans with sauce
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (10 oz) Old El Paso™ Mild Red Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 packet (1 oz) Old El Paso™ Chili Seasoning Mix
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz)
  • 6 slices bacon, crisply cooked, coarsely crumbled
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Prepare pasta according to package instructions for minimum cook time. In the meantime, follow microwave instructions to cook beef as directed on package; let it cool. Then, break the roast into chunks.
  • In a large skillet, warm the oil over medium heat. Sauté the bell peppers for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crisp-tender.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, combine chili beans, tomatoes, enchilada sauce, water, and chili seasoning mix. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook uncovered for 12 minutes until thickened. Add bell peppers, beef, and cooked pasta, then transfer to a baking dish. Cover the dish with a sprayed sheet of foil before baking.
  • Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, then sprinkle with cheese and bacon and bake for an additional 2 to 4 minutes until cheese is melted.
