Tips for making Taco Pasta Bake:
I use a small food chopper or processor to quickly and easily chop the onions. If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver.
I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take diced onion or bell peppers out of the freezer for recipes.
Learn how to freeze peppers and how to freeze onions and you will save so much time in the kitchen!
Any little bit of time we can save is a huge help on busy days. It is so nice to be able to just grab from the freezer and not have to worry about chopping or cutting things up.
