Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 12 ounces rotini pasta
  • 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
