Skillet Taco Macaroni

This recipe is pretty good. I love that it doesn`t use packaged taco seasoning. I agree with others that it needs a bit of changes to be amazing. I will play around with it and am sure it will end up on my keeper list. Thanks for the great idea.

This was just okay, it was missing something. It has potential but it needs more flavor and it doesn't taste anything like tacos.

This made a nice lunch for us. I used a container of cooked and seasoned ground chuck (with carrots and tomatoes) from my freezer stash and followed the recipe starting with adding the tomatoe sauce. It went together in a flash.

This dish has a lot of potential. I didn't have ground sirloin, so I just used what I had in the fridge which was ground turkey. Overall I was impressed with how well the noodles cooked all together. It seems to be missing some "zing" to it. I think it is a very hearty meal, but I might try some more seasonings next time and maybe add black beans or corn to it. Overall, it was a tasty meal. Thanks for posting

It didn't have the flavor I was expecting. I would cook the noodles seperately and add more seasonings.

Going into this I had two questions: would everything REALLY fit into a skillet? and Is it REALLY a good idea to put uncooked macaroni in this? Yes and yes. This was really a delicious, easy dinner. Like an upscale hamburger helper. I did end up having to add some flour to thicken up the sauce. I also used cellentani noodles (which are like curly-cue elbow noodles). That fancied things up a bit :D Thanks for posting!

You have a very good recipe. Just a veggie and dinner is done. I followed your recipe just as you have posted. However I had to add about 1/4 cup of water. Next time I think I will decrease the Macaroni to 2 1/2 Cups. But hats off to you for a very good tasting meal. Hugs

This was very good and very easy to make. The ingredient list looks long but it's very easy to put together. I followed the recipe except added a little less cheese.

This was really quite good and super simple to make on a busy weeknight. I did use whole wheat macaroni so it took about 3 minutes longer to cook. I also used 5 clvoes of fresh garlic and added it after I cooked the meat and cooked it a bit. I used fresh cilantro as well, skipped the salt and used 1 heaping teaspoon of cumin. I also added some red pepper flakes. We added the cheese and the milk but in the future we will probably skip this step as we didn't think the extra fat was worth the taste difference - it was delicious before adding the milk and cheese. Thanks for posting!

This is so good, you simply must try it! I left out the pepper also, used one teaspoon of garlic and one teaspoon of cumin. I also used a finely shredded Tex-Mex cheese blend that I get at Costco. I was afraid that there wouldn't be enough liquid to cook that much macaroni, so I reduced the pasta to two cups and it was just about right. Next time, I think I will add an additional 6 ounces of water, since Rotel is only a 10 oz can. Parsley, this was terrific! Thank you for sharing your recipe!

I was a little skeptical about this one, but I was wrong! I will make it often becuase of the easy ingredients and short prep. I didnt add the cayenne since my 7 year old hates " when things make his tongue burn". The Rotel made it plenty spicy for us. I used 1 1/2lbs beef and added in a can of corn undrained. It was the perfect consistency. Thanks so much for posting!

My boys LOVED this. My youngest ate THREE helpings! He told me this was the best meal I have made in a long time :) I followed the recipe as written other then I didn't add the cayenne pepper as I don't like things too spicy. For me, I thought it was still a bit spicy, the rest of my family told me I was a whimp (which I am when it comes to hot and spicy LOL). I also used Dreamfield pasta and dried onion flakes instead of the small onion. I also stayed on the safe side and used 1/2 tsp of cumin- I figured if it needed it - I could add later. This was very easy to put together after work. I will be making this again!

Loved it! I couldn't stop eating it :) I followed recipe to a T, except cut everything in half and used whole wheat macaroni. Just spicy enough for me. Perfect! Made for Zaar Stars Tag Game Linda

We really liked this. I omitted the dried cilantro, and used chili powder instead of cayenne pepper. My only recommendation would be to add a can of corn. Thanks for good, easy recipe!

This was delicious! We have food sensitivities, so I substituted rice cheese, rice milk, ground turkey and brown rice elbo macaroni. With all of the substitutions I did not expect it to turn out as good as it did--it was great! I used a really good tomato sauce when I made this. Thanks for sharing!

This is really good, and my young children like it too, which is always a plus. The only thing I did different was to use my own taco seasoning mix instead of the spices. However, I had to switch everything to a dutch oven when i added the macaroni. There is NO way all this will fit in a skillet(unless you have a REALLY big one). It makes a TON of food, enough for 3 meals for DH and two preschoolers. Anyway, yummy and inexpesive......a defininate keeper! Added note: I made this again, but with diced cooked chicken instead of ground beef. Also delish that way!
