Ground beef and egg noodles are the start to this tasty beef enchilada pasta bake. My family really loved the Mexican flavors in this dish along with the creamy goodness from cream cheese, sour cream, and Monterrey jack cheese.
This beef enchilada pasta bake all starts with cooking the egg noodles according to package directions. While that cooks, you brown the ground beef in a skillet and season it with salt and pepper.
Once you drain the fat off the beef, you mix in some cumin, chili powder, and cream cheese. Cook over medium heat until the cream cheese is smooth and melted. Remove from the heat and mix in some enchilada sauce, corn, sour cream, Monterrey jack cheese, and green chilies.
When the pasta is fully cooked and drained you mix it into the beef mixture. The pour that all into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top and bake it at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
