Taco Pasta Salad

I just made this with some pasta shaped like cats and the kids loved it! It was easy and tasty. The recipe was on the package of the pasta.

Ingredients:
14 oz pkg pasta
2 lbs ground beef
2 pkgs taco seasoning packets
1 15 oz can pinto beans, drained
1 lb velveeta
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes and green chiles
shredded iceberg lettuce (i used romaine)
2 large tomatoes, chopped (i didn't add these)
chopped green onions, sliced black olives, sliced avocado, sour cream are optional toppings

Cook ground beef in skillet. Drain well. Add taco seasonings following packet instructions. Cook pasta according to directions, drain, and add to seasoned beef. Add pinto bean. Melt cheese over low heat and add diced tomatoes and green chiles to the cheese. Add to beef mixture after melted. Serve over lettuce or with chips.
