Directions
- In a soup pot over medium heat, cook the beef, turkey, and onion, stirring frequently until the meat is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess fat and return the mixture to the pot.
- Stir in the tomato paste and Dash™ Taco Seasoning until well combined with the meat mixture.
- Pour in the beef broth and stir until the ingredients are fully blended.
- Bring the mixture to a rapid boil, then stir in the macaroni.
- Reduce the heat to maintain a low boil. Cook, stirring frequently, for 12-14 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is tender.
- Remove the pot from heat and stir in the cheese until it melts and is evenly distributed.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- Chef’s Tip - For extra depth of flavor, deglaze the pot with a splash of beef broth after browning the meat and onions. This helps lift any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pot, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.
