Ingredients
Scale
- 1 big block of Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 8 oz block of cream cheese, softened
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can Rotel tomatoes with chilies, undrained
- 2.25 pounds ground beef
- 1 box bowtie noodles (farfalle)
- Optional: 1 cup pasta water, reserved to thin the sauce
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook the Pasta Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook until al dente, according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Step 2: Brown the Beef Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Step 3: Make the Sauce To the skillet with the beef, add the cubed Velveeta cheese, softened cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, and undrained Rotel tomatoes. Stir continuously over medium heat until the cheeses melt and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Step 4: Combine Pasta and Sauce Add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet and gently toss to coat the noodles with the creamy sauce. If the sauce feels too thick, gradually stir in the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Step 5: Serve Plate the creamy cheesy beef and bowtie pasta while warm, and enjoy this delightful dish with family or friends!
