Ingredients

1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can Mexican or chili-style stewed tomatoes, undrained
½ cup water
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
2 cups elbow macaroni or small shells, cooked and drained
2 cups Sargento ® Shredded Reduced Fat 4 Cheese Mexican Cheese, divided

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Cook ground beef, onion, and bell pepper in a large skillet over medium heat until beef is crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes; pour off drippings. Add tomatoes, water, and taco seasoning; simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir cooked pasta into meat mixture until combined. Spoon 3 cups meat mixture into an 11x7-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese; top with remaining meat mixture. Cover with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
