Mexican Pasta Casserole

[harlowgirl]

Very, very good. This recipe was extremely easy to make and turned out quite delicious.

This recipe came out quite delicious. Even my non-vegan daughter-in-law liked it. I think  next time I will add some chopped bell peppers to add a little  flavor and more veggies.

Super delicious! I used about twice as much onion, taco seasoned smart ground, and added some jalepenos and my meat-eating boyfriend loved it too! Will definitely make it again!

Thanks for the reviews!  I'd say I actually use closer to 1 cup of chopped onion rather than 1/2 cup, but I can't edit the recipe once it's posted.

I like to make a batch of this and eat the leftovers for a few days, but it seems a little dry by the next day, so I might double the tomato sauce next time I make it.  (Though my meat-and-dairy-eating husband loves it and never complains about that!)

Enjoy... and someone post a better picture!

I just finished a big bowl of this and it was quite good.   I used Mexican hot tomato sauce and threw some fresh sliced jalapeños on top.  Will definitely make this one again!

I made this for my boyfriend's birthday, and meat-eaters and veggies alike thought it was great. This is definately going into the dinner rotation.

I just made this and it was SO yummy!

I made a few changes in that I didn't use any soy taco meat. I added extra veggies instead (bell peppers, garlic, jalapeno peppers, broccoli). I also made my own tomato sauce from scratch and used that in it.

Turned out fantasitc. I'm definitely making this again. My mom who is not a vegan loved it.

   This was super yummy! I made a few modifications. Upped the tomato sauce to 15 ounces. Added a can of pinto beans that were drained and rinsed. Also doubled the amount of corn. Thanks!

This is soooooo good!!!! I had never tried the soy taco meat, this is a great first time recipe to try it with. I also added another can of diced chillies, I like it spicy!

Thanks Vegan Christine!!  This was really, really good!  Super easy to make and delicious!!  I did take your advice and double the tomato sauce and it turned out perfect!!  Keep 'em coming, this one is a winner!!

Tonight when I yet again made this delicious casserole, I threw in zucchini slices. Complete and total yum!

I made this recipe without the meat. I was intending to make a stirfry  and that went wrong-so i tossed it and made this instead. I used cabbage, corn and onion and it was great! I think i'll make it again later, but i might add even more veggies just to try it out:)

Thanks!

i pretty much made this.. had to do some subbing cus of lack of correct ingredients but i thought it turned out delicious.  i halved it & used a 8x8 glass pan.  i sauteed the little onion i had in a bit of water, added 4 oz of boca crumbles (1packet from the box), a 15oz can of drained and rinsed pinto beans, some frozen corn & frozen multi colored pepper pieces and from tjs, a 10oz can of mild red enchilada sauce instead of the tomato sauce, and diced up some fresh tomatoes instead of the canned roasted.  Also, earlier this week i made the sauce from the flashback mac & cheese and had a couple heaping spoonfulls of that leftover after using to dip asparagus in and added that to the sauce.  it melted right in and gave it a yummy cheesy flavor.  it was great from the oven and today i had some of the leftovers just cold from the fridge (i couldnt bring myself to eat hot food in this heat) and they were awesome!!  it was like a mild cheesy mexican pasta salad.  so good.

This is so good. I am making it again tonight...I do add extra veggies so it's a one-dish meal and I make a big pan of it because my husband really likes it and he doesn't mind eating it a few days in a row, which means I get a couple of nights off from cooking.
