Method
Preparation
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking apart any chunks with a spatula.
- Once the meat is browned, add the taco seasoning. Stir well to coat the meat evenly with the seasoning.
- Pour in the heavy cream, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and everything is well combined.
- Stir in the cooked macaroni, diced tomatoes, and corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 5 more minutes until everything is heated through and the flavors meld together.
- Serve hot, topped with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro for added flair.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave or on a skillet with a splash of milk or cream if it thickens. Can be frozen for up to 1 month.
