Step 1
Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.
Step 2
Add pasta, taco seasoning, and 2.5 cups of water to the skillet and stir well.
Step 3
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered until pasta is tender and liquid mostly absorbs, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
Step 5
Serve hot straight from the skillet.
