Very easy & delicious. I did not boil the meat. Browned the meat, peppers, & onion; drained well. Stirred in the seasoning mix & tomato sauce. Simmered 10 min. Combined the meat mixture & pasta mixture together.

This was easy cause I already had the frozen taco meat on hand and I made another casserole to freeze. The kids loved it!
