Hi Dudes and Dudettes!
I have a suuuuppeer simple, quick, kids approved dinner dish. It is a twist of macaroni and cheese. It’s macaroni and beef sauce ?
My boys love macaroni. Macaroni and cheese, macaroni soup, macaroni “lasagna”, macaroni this and that. So for sure they were happy with this following dish as well ?
And it is only 3 ingredients! Macaroni, beef sauce, and cheese. In facy, cheese is optional, so count that as 2 ingredients ? It’s practical moms’ dinner ?
- 2 c macaroni
- Enough hot boiling water
Sauce:
- 200 g ground beef
- 1 1/2 c (or more) spaghetti sauce (this time I used roasted mushroom flavor)
- 1/4 c water

- 1 tsp dried parsley
Topping (optional):
- Cheese
