I first had this over 13 years ago when my son was born. My brother, who is great cook, gave me this recipe. It is an easy dish that can be made ahead and refrigerated.

My family said this tasted like hamburger helper. They like hamburger helper so why go to the extra trouble to make this recipe then. Read More

This was fairly tasty and just what I was looking for. An adult version of beefaroni. I left out the mushrooms used medium cheddar cheese and added 4 cloves of minced garlic in with the meat and the onion. Read More

We used to have this all the time growing up in Ohio - where Marzetti was started. We've always made it with elbow noodles so I made that substitution - otherwise it was just how I remembered! The Worcestershire sauce gives the tomato sauce a "meaty" flavor - don't skip it! I made a big batch and froze half before adding the pasta. It tasted great and the whole family went back for seconds. Great hot meal for busy families! Read More

This was pretty good. I ommitted the mushrooms as no one in my family would like them. I also put in some garlic cloves and added some Italian Seasoning as previous reviews had said it was bland. I used Medium Cheddar instead of sharp as that is what I had. Will make this again. Read More
