Ingredients
  

Cheese Mixture
  • 1 block big block of Velveeta For a creamy texture.
  • 1 8oz block of cream cheese Adds richness.
  • 1 can of cream of chicken For added creaminess.
  • 1 can of Rotel Tomatoes with chilies Choose mild or spicy based on preference.
Main Ingredients
  • 2.25 pounds ground beef Can substitute with lean turkey.
  • 1 box of bowtie noodles Any pasta shape can be used.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  2. In a crock pot, combine the browned beef, Velveeta, cream cheese, cream of chicken, and Rotel tomatoes.
Cooking
  1. Set the crock pot to high and cook for about an hour and a half, stirring occasionally until the cheeses are melted and everything is well combined.
  2. Meanwhile, boil the bowtie noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
  3. Just before serving, add the cooked noodles to the crock pot and mix well. If the sauce is too thick, add about a cup of pasta water to thin it.
Serving
  1. Serve Velveeta Beef Pasta warm in bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley or additional cheese if desired.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of water for creaminess.
