Taco Mac - question

micheleNYC

So this is on my menu for tonight and I'm excited. It calls for 1/2 lb of pasta only - did anyone double the pasta and do same amount of meat? I live for leftovers but wasn't sure if I should double everything or if that would be too much....

Thanks ladies!

Depends on how you like your pasta/meat ratio. I think I did slightly more than 1/2 lb pasta but not much more. It was fine. You'd want to make more cheesy sauce, though.  I used 4 oz/ 1/2 block of cream cheese and added some shredded cheese into it. Maybe add extra vegetables? Personally, I am going to double the tomatoes next time around.

Thanks. Jerred will want more meat/sauce, I will want more pasta ;-) So maybe I'll double it all up so there's plenty - I have enough for double everything I think anyway.

I doubled it.  1/2 lb. was not enough for my pasta hounds.  Worked fine for us.

Thanks Pam. I think I'm going to double the pasta and tomatoes and maybe the sauce, but not the meat. 2.5 lbs of meat is way too much!
