My kids have loved Beefaroni since they were in high chairs. It all started with those tasty toddler meals. But over time, their eyes (and tastes) turned toward the more layered flavors of Chef Boyardee.<\/p>\n

Now, while I have nothing against this quick and easy meal in a can, I felt Beefaroni could be better. It had such potential to be more appetizing and healthy. So, I set out to make a recipe that was all these things, and would appeal to those of us in the house over the age of 12.<\/p>\n

I took the basics of macaroni, ground beef, and tomato sauce and built a tasty, healthier version. This recipe includes fresh veggies, and some subtle herbs and spices to give the dish more depth.<\/p>\n

I don’t mind telling you, it was a huge success. The kids loved the zesty flavors, the adults appreciated the healthy dose of nostalgia, and I loved that it’s a quick and easy midweek meal. This recipe for Beefaroni is also great as leftovers for lunch.<\/p>\n
