Now here's an easy ground beef recipe that's definitely not boring. Loaded with southwestern spice, veggies, and twisted pasta, our Mexican Twist is a mouth-full of "ooh, yeah!" And the best part is that it cooks up in a quick 25-minutes, making it an easy weeknight dinner.

What You'll Need

1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
4 cups water
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
2 (1 ounce each) envelopes dry taco seasoning mix
8 ounces spiral pasta

What to Do

In a 6-quart soup pot, over high heat, brown ground beef and onion 8 to 10 minutes, until no pink remains in beef and onion is tender. Add remaining ingredients except pasta; mix well.
Bring to a boil, then stir in pasta. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 to 18 minutes, or until pasta is tender.

Too much water and not enough flavor. I was disappointed in this recipe. Will probably make it again. If I do I'll use a lot less water.
