Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 0.75 cup water
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil (if using) over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Drain any excess grease from the skillet if needed. Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet, stirring well to coat the beef. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies and cooked egg noodles, mixing well to combine everything.
Step 5
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and fully incorporated.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the sour cream, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dish.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your Taco Noodle Dish!
