I went by everything that was said except for tomatoes instead of that I used tomato sauce and instead of taco seasoning I used just salt and pepper. That is literally the only thing that I changed first time I did it was 10/23/23 and instead of cheddar cheese, I used Mexican cheese by Sargento, and I added a little sour cream at the end and it was delicious

This is one of my dishes that everyone loves!! Thank you for the recipe!! It’s so good!!

It was tasty and pretty easy to double. I wanted to use a whole pound box of rotini, so at first I used 2 cans of rotel and 3 cups of water in a large deep skillet (kept the beef at a pound). I had to add another cup of water to make sure the pasta was covered, and then after it was mostly cooked, I added a 3rd can of rotel, because it didn't look like it had enough tomatoes. I didn't want to use another taco seasoning, so I tasted it after cooking and I added some chili powder, onion powder, a little cayenne, and a dash of salt. I probably used more than double the cheese, but I am usually heavy handed with it! I'm sure the recipe is fine as is if you use a 1/2 lb. of pasta.
