Once the meat is cooked, you drain off any excess fat. Then, you add water and the contents of the seasoning and cheese sauce packets to the skillet with the meat. Stir everything together and bring it to a simmer. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Serve hot.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional pasta dishes, this meal kit incorporates a distinct nacho cheese flavor profile. The texture is also different from a standard pasta bake, as it focuses on a creamy, sauce-coated pasta rather than a baked casserole. The seasoning blend is specifically designed to mimic popular nacho flavors.
