Enchilada Pasta Bowl

Don kept telling me about this delicious pasta he would get at work in the cafeteria.  He described it as being an enchilada in a bowl.  But, of course they stopped serving it.  I kept telling him to try to recreate it and this weekend he finally gave me the ingredients for the grocery list.  So, enjoy Don’s Enchilada Pasta Bowl.  Its amazingly delicious and even better the next day!

Notes

*Velveeta now makes the cheese packets available for sale without purchasing the macaroni and cheese dinners. For a tasty kick, try the jalapeno version. If this is unavailable, you can use a Velveeta cheese block and add milk as needed to reach the desired creaminess.
