What Goes With One Pot Taco Pasta

You can eat this dish alone and skip sides, or whip up a side or two that sounds tasty. Here are some suggestions below.

Will Taco Pasta Freeze

I have not tried freezing leftover taco pasta but I think it has the potential to freeze and reheat well. I think the only thing you might run into is the pasta breaking down a bit more as it reheats.

Place in airtight containers and store in the freezer for up to two months. To serve just thaw in the fridge the night before than warm on stove or microwave.

Ground Beef One Pot Meal

Ground beef one-pot meals are so easy and affordable! If you want to opt for ground turkey go for it! You will find this one pot meal is incredibly versatile!
