INGREDIENTS:
1 lb ground beef
2 16 oz blocks of Velveeta (1 white, 1 regular)
2 cans of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies
1 box of penne pasta
Slap Ya Mama seasoning
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Cayenne pepper
Optional: Milk (for adjusting consistency)
DIRECTIONS:
Cook the Pasta:
Boil the penne pasta according to the instructions on the box until al dente.
Drain the pasta and set aside.
Season and Brown the Ground Beef:
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef.
Season with Slap Ya Mama, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to taste.
Brown the beef, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
If there’s excess grease, drain it.
Add Rotel:
Stir in the cans of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies to the seasoned ground beef.
Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors meld.
Incorporate Velveeta:
Cube both blocks of Velveeta and add them to the skillet with the meat and Rotel.
Stir occasionally until the Velveeta is completely melted and forms a creamy sauce.
Combine with Pasta:
Once the cheese is melted, add the cooked and drained penne pasta to the skillet.
Gently fold the pasta into the cheesy meat mixture until well coated.
Adjust Consistency (Optional):
If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Serve and Enjoy:
Stir everything together well, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated with the cheesy goodness.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Rotel Pasta Delight!
