So, so good! That's all I have to say about this. I really wished I'd
had a can of diced green chilies to throw in here because that would
have taken this dish over the top. Also, if you'd like a meatless meal,
just substitute a couple of cans of black beans to replace the ground
beef. But...made as is, highly recommended! And so easy! I sent some of
this home with my daughter the day I made it and she said her husband
ate almost the whole thing by himself! This made quite a bit...I'd say
at least 8 servings so I hope you're hungry!!!
Mexican Skillet Pasta
2 cups pasta ~ cooked and drained

Welcome!
Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!
