Enchilada Pasta Bake

This Enchilada Pasta Bake recipe doesn't really have a story, except that I love making it.  And eating it.  And even reheating it as leftovers.  So I wanted to share it with you so that you could love it with me!

After Taco Night at our house, we usually have about a pound of meat left (I usually make 3 pounds, hoping for leftovers!), which works out perfectly for me because that's exactly how much I need for this Enchilada Pasta Bake recipe! But if you don't have any leftovers handy, that's okay too.  You can just brown a pound of ground beef and add taco seasoning.  It'll just take a few minutes and then you're all set!
