Tried and True Mexican Pasta Casserole

OCTOBER 8, 2012  /  ADINA BAILEY  / 

In my opinion, recipes that have stood the test of time are always worth trying. When Chris Nease of Celebrations at Home described a Mexican Pasta Casserole that has been a favorite of hers for more than 20 years, I had to give it a try.

My family LOVED this dish. They didn't even realize that I intentionally left out half of the French's Fried Onions and ground beef (1 lb. instead of 2 lbs).

The meal is well-suited for taking to a friend because you can split the recipe between two 8x8 pans and have enough for two families of four. One 9x13 dish would feed a large family.

I hope you enjoy this simple, yet delicious dish.
