Make Something Monday ... Mexican Pasta Bake

Make Something Monday


Quick fix meal! This is another recipe I printed months (ok maybe a year ago) and never did anything with. Wait I'll tell you I did do something with it I put it in the cupboard with the rest ... LOL. So what do you do when it's 6pm and you have already cooked up hamburger. You throw this together! Can you say yummy! Another quick and Semi Homemade meal that is perfect for us busy moms! You'll love this one I promise ;).


What you need to start :)
Cooked hamburger in the bottom of the casserole dish.
Add a can of corn
Add a can of Black Beans
Add a jar of salsa (I love the SW Black Bean and Corn kind)
Helper helps stir the noodles
Noodles Ready!!
Stir it all together.
Add Some Cheese
Put it into the oven at 350 for 30 min
Yummy all ooh gooey and wonderful.
Dish it up and call it a night.
