Velveeta Beef & Bowtie Pasta in Creamy Sauce

2️⃣ Cook the Ground Beef:

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat from the pan to avoid an overly greasy sauce.

3️⃣ Make the Creamy Sauce:

With the heat on medium, add the cubed Velveeta cheese, softened cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, and Rotel diced tomatoes with chilies (do not drain). Stir continuously, allowing the cheeses to melt and create a smooth, creamy sauce.

4️⃣ Mix Pasta with Sauce:

Once the sauce is completely combined and smooth, add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet. Stir well to coat all the noodles with the creamy cheese sauce. If the sauce feels too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

Serve the pasta immediately while warm and gooey. This dish pairs well with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.

Optional Add-Ins & Variations:

🔥 Spice It Up: Love heat? Add some red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce for an extra kick.

🧀 Extra Cheese: Stir in some shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack for even more cheesy goodness.

🌿 Make It Fresher: Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions for a pop of color and flavor.

🥦 Add Veggies: Toss in sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or steamed broccoli to make it a little heartier.

🐔 Try It with Chicken: Swap the ground beef for shredded rotisserie chicken for a delicious variation.
