Taco Macaroni Salad

This is one of my favorite spring/summer recipes! I made it for dinner tonight, and thought I'd share it. I like to make it in the morning and let it sit in the fridge all day.

Taco Macaroni Salad

2 cups corkscrew macaroni

1 lb. ground beef

1 pkg. taco seasoning

1/2 cup (or a little more) catalina dressing

1-2 tomatoes, chopped

1 cup shredded cheese

shredded lettuce (optional)

Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain and rinse w/ cold water. Cook beef in skillet. Drain, then mix in dressing and taco seasoning.

Combine meat mixture and noodles together in large bowl. Once well mixed, cover and chill in fridge for at least 1 hr.

Add chopped tomatoes & cheese. (and lettuce if you wish!)

Enjoy!
