Over medium-high heat, in a large nonstick skillet, cook and crumble the lean ground beef with the chopped onion until no longer pink, about 7 minutes.

Stir in the taco seasoning, making sure the beef is evenly coated.

Add the Tex-Mex pasta sauce, frozen corn, and elbow macaroni to the skillet.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet. Allow the dish to simmer until the macaroni is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Remove the lid and sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the top.

Continue cooking, uncovered, until the cheese is melty and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Serve hot straight from the skillet.
