Instructions

1
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and begin to break it up.
2
Add the minced garlic, dehydrated minced onion, and taco seasoning. Continue to cook, stirring, until the beef is fully browned.
3
Stir in the taco simmer sauce, pinto beans, frozen corn, and green salsa.
4
Pour in the beef broth and add the tomato paste. Stir everything together until well combined.
5
Add the entire bag of egg noodles and the cup of water. Stir to submerge the noodles in the liquid.
6
Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer until the noodles are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
7
Once the noodles are cooked, lay the pepper jack cheese slices over the top of the mixture.
8
Stir the cheese into the noodles until it's melted and the sauce is creamy. Serve immediately.
