Stove instructions (see Instant Pot instructions below)

Heat OIL in a 3.5-quart saucepan over medium-high.

Add ONION and GROUND BEEF. Sauté until beef is cooked through, stirring as needed. Drain excess fat.

Stir in TACO SEASONING and saute for a few minutes until fragrant, stirring as needed.

Stir in UNCOOKED PASTA, DICED TOMATOES, BLACK BEANS, CORN, and CHICKEN BROTH.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 8-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add splashes of broth or water as needed to keep the surface ingredients moist.

Stir CHEDDAR CHEESE into the pot for a creamy, cheesy finish.

Stir in SALT and PEPPER, give it a taste, and add more salt, if needed.

Serve warm garnished with optional toppings.

Storage and reheat

To store, cool completely and refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze for up to 90 days.

To reheat, add a splash of broth or water to revive the creamy texture.
