Introduction
Easy pasta dish that takes minutes to put together and always satisfies. My children call it Beef-a-roni, but it has more than just ground meat in it. Not for the weight-conscious however. It's rich and filling. Easy pasta dish that takes minutes to put together and always satisfies. My children call it Beef-a-roni, but it has more than just ground meat in it.
