Directions: 
  1. Preheat MP5, uncovered, at 375°F/190°C.
  2. Add onions, peppers and garlic to MP5 and sauté for 3 - 4 minutes until softened.
  3. Add corn and taco seasoning mix. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Add tomato soup, beans and pasta. Stir to combine.

Tips: 
  • Add in extra vegetables, if desired: mushrooms, zucchini or a chopped jalapeño pepper for a little extra spicy flavor.
  • For a non-vegetarian version, add lean ground beef or turkey and sauté with onions and garlic.
  • Substitute taco seasoning mix for a blend of cumin, chili powder, paprika, natural salt and garlic powder.
  • Cooking time may vary depending on type of pasta.
