How to Make Bow Tie Taco Casserole

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef and 1/2 lb ground pork in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1 packet taco seasoning mix, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), and 1 cup chopped green bell pepper.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Cook 1 (16 ounce) package bow tie pasta according to package directions. Drain well.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup sour cream. Mix well.
  6. Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  7. Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Top with the meat mixture and sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 35-40 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
