One reason I’m always on the hunt for beef recipes is because we butcher and fill our freezer with an entire cow at a time.  It’s a great way to save money on meat so if you haven’t searched for a local farmer, you should!  Then, whip up some delicious ground beef recipes like this Beef Carnitas Bowls or the following Cheesy Italian Beef Pasta Casserole Recipe.

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces pasta (of choice)
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• block cream cheese
• 1 package Zesty Italian Dressing seasoning mix
• 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning 
• 1 can diced tomatoes with green chili peppers
• 4 ounces pepper jack cheese
• 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup milk

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, brown ground beef.  As it’s browning, I like to season with about 1/2 teaspoon of each: onion salt, garlic salt, seasoning salt, and pepper.
2. As the meat is browning, cook pasta in a large pot according to instructions on the box.  Drain but do NOT rinse.  Set aside.
3. In the large skillet or a pot, combine cooked ground beef, cream cheese, chicken soup, Italian seasoning mix, taco seasoning, tomatoes with green chili peppers, cheeses, and milk.  Stir well until combined and cheeses are fully melted.  
   
4. Add cooked noodles to the meat mixture.
