Cheesy Beef & Pasta Skillet

Adding cheese to any recipe can make something good, even better!  This Cheesy Beef & Pasta Skillet recipe was sent to me a few weeks ago and WOW, is it good!

1/2 lb. extra lean ground beef
1/2 cup  chopped onions
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 can (14-1/2 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup water
1 cup penne pasta, uncooked
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
2 oz. Velveeta cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro

Cook meat with onions, cumin and chili powder in large skillet on medium-high heat 5 min. or until meat is no longer pink, stirring occasionally.  Add tomatoes, water, pasta and peppers; stir.  Bring to boil.  Reduce heat to medium-low; cover.  Simmer 18 to 20 min. or until pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

Stir in Velveeta; cook 2 min. or until melted, stirring occasionally.  Finish recipe by sprinkling in cilantro and mixing.

Enjoy!
