Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground turkey, break up until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add ground beef and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot, dry pan. Break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Reduce heat to medium. Transfer ground beef to a plate. Wipe pan clean and keep over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil, corn, and poblanos (to taste) to hot pan. Stir occasionally until vegetables are slightly browned, 3-4 minutes.

    Kids not a fan of extra heat? Feel free to skip/reduce the poblanos.

  3. 3

    Add the Sauce

    Add flour to hot pan and stir until no dry flour remains.

    Add 3/4 cup water, tomatoes, enchilada sauce (to taste), taco seasoning (to taste), cream base, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Kids not a fan of extra heat? Feel free to skip/reduce the enchilada sauce and taco seasoning. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

    If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

  4. 4

    Add Pasta and Beef and Finish Dish

    Add pasta and ground beef to hot pan. Stir occasionally until combined and pasta is coated, 30-60 seconds.

    Evenly top with cheese. Cover and let melt, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.
