0:02
anchiladas and macaroni and cheese had a
0:04
baby and it's called one pot enchilada
0:09
pasta
0:10
all right i'm breaking up one pound of
0:12
ground beef in a large skillet over
0:14
mediumigh heat now while that's browning
0:17
up we're going to go ahead and chop up
0:20
an onion and a bell pepper
0:23
now this is an easy dinner idea it's 30
0:27
minutes
0:29
and you can pull this stuff right out of
0:31
your pantry or your refrigerator
0:34
poor thomas had a date with sushi today
0:37
but
0:39
the storm came through so we like looked
0:42
in the pantry in the refrigerator and we
0:46
saw we had some anchilada sauce some
0:48
pasta cheese
0:51
and then thomas is like "this is going
0:54
to be a take on macaroni cheese and
0:57
anchiladas we're going to use pasta for
1:00
it." and i'm really a pro at 30 minute
1:03
one pot meals so we're just changing up
1:06
some flavors
1:09
so i've got my onion i've taken off both
1:11
ends we're just going to slice through
1:13
it after i cut it in half
1:17
we're going to dice it up
1:23
yeah we're going to hope that we get
1:24
this done
1:26
before the power goes out
1:29
cuz when it rains here it's notorious
1:32
for the power going out
1:34
we're going to put thomas on the
1:37
browning up the ground beef there while
1:39
i get these chopped up yeah cuz it's
1:42
still stormy
1:44
it was coming down sideways we were
1:47
going to meet rihanna and her boyfriend
1:50
chris so we can get to know them and we
1:53
were going to go do sushi because they
1:55
like that
1:57
i'm not a fan because i don't do fish
1:59
but i do udon noodles which they have
2:03
there and they have lots of vegetables
2:04
in them and it's really good
2:07
all right so i got a bell pepper let me
2:08
go wash that off really quick now i've
2:11
got a small pepper here so i'm going to
2:13
probably use the whole thing for this
2:14
dish and give it a pop of color too
2:19
if you have a larger pepper you could do
2:21
half of it i've taken off the sides i'm
2:24
going to cut these in strips and then
2:26
dice them up let's get rid of the pepper
2:28
seed here
2:30
i love meals like this we're cooking
2:32
everything in one pot
2:36
including the pasta yeah
2:40
all right we're going to finish chopping
2:42
these up we're going to add this to the
2:44
ground beef
2:46
and start cooking this down and getting
2:49
these nice and soft
2:59
okay we're going to finish browning up
3:00
the ground beef get those onions and
3:02
peppers nice and soft it'll just take a
3:04
few minutes cuz it'll finish cooking the
3:07
peppers and onions as we're building the
3:10
sauce
3:12
we got it the ground beef is all browned
3:15
up the peppers and onions have softened
3:17
down what we're going to do is drain off
3:19
any excess grease before we start
3:21
flavoring
3:24
i'm just going to use my trick paper
3:26
towels
3:30
w them up place them in there just push
3:32
it into the meat
3:34
turn it over get the other side
3:38
we're going to add in one can of
3:41
anchilada sauce i'm using mild
3:44
15 oz
3:55
there we go
3:58
we're going to flavor that up with some
4:00
taco seasoning
4:02
which i have my version right here i'm
4:05
going to put in probably one and a half
4:07
tablespoons
4:09
live up that anchilada sauce this would
4:12
be about half a pack of taco seasoning
4:15
that you would pick up from your store
4:17
this is my homemade blend you can find
4:19
this on my recipe blog catherine's
4:21
plates.com big batch taco seasoning
4:26
doesn't that look delicious in there no
4:28
additives no preservatives just
4:31
seasonings
4:33
go make you a batch let me get this in
4:37
we're going to put this on a high heat
4:39
going to start bringing everything to a
4:40
boil now this is going to be a creamy
4:43
dish also and i'll show you how that's
4:45
going to happen at the end
4:47
we got some beef broth
4:50
we're going to measure out 16 oz or two
4:53
cups
5:00
woo there we go
5:06
that anchilada sauce oh my gosh when you
5:09
add that to anything it smells delicious
5:13
i'm going to give this a stir
5:17
grab a spoon
5:24
m
5:28
that is delicious now if you need to add
5:30
some salt or cracked black pepper some
5:33
more cumin to it you can do that at this
5:36
point but i don't think so cuz there's
5:39
going to be something creamy at the end
5:42
it'll be salty enough now when this
5:45
comes to a boil you want to add in 8 oz
5:50
of dry uncooked pasta now i'm using the
5:54
cork right here looks like a macaroni
5:57
for macaroni cheese don't it
6:02
make sure that your pasta is kind of a
6:04
small pasta for this
6:07
we're going to push it in sink it in
6:10
there
6:12
make sure it's covered in the liquid
6:14
we're going to turn down the heat to a
6:16
medium
6:18
we're going to cook this uncovered for
6:21
about 10 minutes or so until the pasta
6:24
is nice and tender now come back to it
6:27
every so often and make sure you give it
6:28
a stir that way everything is cooked
6:31
nice and even and then we're going to
6:33
make this creamy
6:36
about halfway through i'm going to place
6:38
a lid on and i will go back in a few
6:41
minutes give it another stir keep going
6:45
the pasta is tender i gave it another
6:48
two minutes and then it finished
6:49
absorbing the liquid now if you run out
6:53
of liquid you can add more beef broth to
6:56
it but you don't want a soup okay the
6:59
first cheese we're going to add is cream
7:01
cheese
7:04
we're going to do that while the heat's
7:06
on and i'm going to do 4 oz so cut these
7:09
into strips
7:11
put them into our enchilada pasta here
7:15
so we can make that nice and creamy
7:17
that's four we're going to stir this
7:19
until it's all melted in there
7:26
