Taco Pasta Bake

Ingredients:

• 1/2 - 3/4 of a bag of large noodle pasta like Ziti or Rigatoni
  
• 1lb of ground beef
• 1 pkg/envelope of taco seasoning or 1 1/2 Tbsp taco seasoning
  
• 1C water
• 1/2 pkg of cream cheese (about 4oz)
• 1 1/2C shredded cheese (I used marble/Colby)

1. Boil pasta, don't over cook it as you will be baking it later.
2. While pasta is cooking, brown ground beef.
3. When ground beef is cooked through add taco seasoning mixed with 1C water and let simmer.
4. When ground beef is ready add approx. half a pkg of cream cheese and stir until melted and mixed in.
5. When pasta is ready drain. 
6. In a casserole dish add cooked pasta, stir in some shredded cheese, the ground beef mixture, top with more cheese, and bake covered at 350 for about 30 minutes (the last few minutes you can take off cover so that the top browns).
