Merlie'S Taco Pasta Salad - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 (16 ounce) boxes tri-colored rotini pasta
2 lbs ground beef
2 (2 ounce) packages taco seasoning mix
2 green peppers, chopped
2 yellow onions, chopped
2 cups cherry tomatoes
2 cups sliced pepperoni (your fave)
2 (1 liter) bottles western salad dressing
1 (16 ounce) bag shredded mexican cheese
Preparation
-
Cook pasta and set aside.
Brown Ground beef and add taco mix as directed on package.
Add half the onions and peppers and saute till lightly softened.
Transfer to a large bowl then add the remaining ingredients.
Use 1 1/2 bottles of dressing and add more if you like it juicier.
Serve warm or chilled the next day.
I noticed I enjoyed it even more the second day once the flavours had a chance to mingle.
I have never seen Western salad dressing here in Canada -- Merlie brought it from the states.
This makes a huge amount -- good for big family get-togethers or PotLucks.
If I made it again I would half all the ingredients.
