Taco Pasta Casserole

Jake made this amazing taco pasta casserole for us the other day.  It was easy to put together and delicious too.  Thankful for a creative husband who comes up with great recipes and is willing to cook for the family.  The whole family enjoyed this recipe.

Saute the onion in Olive Oil for about 5 minutes.  Add the ground hamburger to the onions, cook thoroughly, and drain the fat.  Add the pack of taco seasoning according to directions.  Cook the pasta according to directions and drain.  Add the 2 cans of diced tomatoes to the taco hamburger mixture and heat to a boil and simmer on low for 3 minutes.  Add the pasta to the hamburger mixture and mix.

Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish and cook on 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until heated through.  The last five minutes add the 2 cups of corn chips on top.  Serve with taco toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, and salsa, olives, and fresh diced tomatoes.
