CREAMY TACO BEEF BOW-TIE PASTA!

Ingredients
• 1 lb ground beef
• 12 oz bow-tie (farfalle) pasta
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 16 oz Velveeta, cut into cubes
• 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
• 2 cans (10 oz each) diced tomatoes & green chilies
• 1½ cups beef broth or milk
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional
• Fresh cilantro or green onions, optional

Easy Directions
Brown the beef: Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
Load the slow cooker: Add the cooked beef to the slow cooker. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and garlic powder.
Add the cheese: Scatter the Velveeta cubes and cream cheese over the beef. Pour both cans of diced tomatoes and green chilies over everything.
Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is creamy.
Add the pasta: Stir in the dry bow-tie pasta and about 1½ cups broth or milk. Cover and cook for another 30–45 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the pasta is tender.
Make it extra cheesy: Stir everything together until the sauce completely coats the pasta. Add shredded cheddar if you want an even cheesier finish.

Red, White & Blue Bomb Pop Drink 🍒🫐🇺🇸

A festive, fruity drink with colorful layers inspired by everyone’s favorite red, white, and blue frozen treat!

Ingredients

* 1 cup lemon-lime soda, chilled
* ½ cup cranberry juice
* ½ cup blue raspberry sports drink
* ½ cup lemonade
* Ice cubes
* Fresh blueberries
* Fresh raspberries or cherries
* Lemon slices, for garnish
* Bomb Pop-style popsicle, optional

Instructions

1. **Fill the glass:**
Add a handful of ice to a tall clear glass. Drop in a few blueberries and raspberries.

2. **Create the red layer:**
Slowly pour the cranberry juice over the ice.

3. **Add the white layer:**
Gently pour the lemonade over the back of a spoon so it settles above the cranberry layer.

4. **Finish with blue:**
Slowly add the blue raspberry drink, again pouring over the back of a spoon to create a colorful layered effect.

5. **Add some fizz:**
Top with chilled lemon-lime soda, leaving a little room at the top.

Creamy Taco Beef Spaghetti

A delicious mash-up of classic spaghetti and bold taco flavors! Juicy seasoned beef, tomatoes, tender pasta, and melted cheese come together in one skillet for an easy, comforting dinner the whole family will love.

Ingredients

* 1 lb ground beef
* 12 oz spaghetti
* 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 packet taco seasoning
* 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
* 2 cups beef broth
* ½ cup water
* ½ cup cream cheese, softened
* 1½ cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese, divided
* ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
* 1 tablespoon tomato paste
* ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
* ½ teaspoon cumin
* Salt and black pepper, to taste
* 1 tablespoon olive oil, if needed

Optional Toppings

* Chopped cilantro
* Sliced green onions
* Diced tomatoes
* Sour cream
* Sliced jalapeños
* Crushed tortilla chips

Instructions

1. **Brown the beef:** Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion. Cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking up the beef as it cooks, until browned and the onion is tender. Drain excess grease if necessary.

2. **Add the flavor:** Stir in the garlic, taco seasoning, tomato paste, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3. **Cook the spaghetti:** Pour in the diced tomatoes with green chilies, beef broth, and water. Stir well, then add the uncooked spaghetti. Press the noodles down into the liquid as much as possible.

4. **Simmer:** Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally so the spaghetti doesn't stick. Cook until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

5. **Make it creamy:** Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until smooth and melted. Add 1 cup of the Mexican-blend cheese and stir until gooey and well combined.

6. **Add the final layer of cheese:** Sprinkle the remaining Mexican-blend cheese and cheddar over the top. Cover the skillet for 2–3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt completely.

7. **Serve:** Garnish with cilantro, green onions, jalapeños, or your favorite taco toppings. Serve hot and enjoy!

Helpful Tip

For an extra taco-night crunch, sprinkle crushed tortilla chips over each serving just before eating. For a little heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce or extra diced green chilies.
