Taco Casserole

I chose recipe #5 Taco Casserole
We really liked this! When we make it again we'll put in lots of black olives...we were stealing them out of our salad to put in it=)
The recipe doesn't say but we put in the diced tomatoes at the same time as the salsa.
Taco Casserole

3 c. uncooked bow tie pasta
1 lb ground beef
1/4 c chopped onion
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 jar (16 oz) salsa
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 envelope taco seasoning
2 c nacho cheese tortilla chips (doritos) crushed

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook beef and onions over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the cheese, salsa, taco seasoning. Drain pasta; stir into the beef mixture. Transfer to a greased 11x7x2 inch baking dish. Cover and bake at 350 for 20 mins. Uncover and sprinkle with tortilla chips. Bake 10 minutes longer or until heated through
