Creamy Jalapeño Cheeseburger Pasta Salad

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, crumble the raw ground beef into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.  
2. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked ground beef from the skillet to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.  
3. Meanwhile, pour pasta (from Suddenly Salad box) into a 3-quart saucepan ⅔ full of boiling water. Gently boil uncovered for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta. Rinse with cold water and drain well.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the seasoning (from Suddenly Salad box), mayonnaise, and water (or broth) to make the dressing. 
5. Add the pasta, ground beef, tomatoes, cheese, onion, jalapeño, and lettuce to the bowl; toss gently. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until serving.
