Beefaroni
This pasta dish takes me right back to my childhood when we'd eat cans of Beefaroni for lunch! Of course, our homemade version is so much better than the canned stuff - loaded with savory beef and tender pasta all in a simple tomato sauce.

Notes
- Not to be dramatic, but we're pretty obsessed with Barilla Protein+ Pasta. This isn't sponsored, just something that we love in our house. Tastes, cooks, and eats like regular pasta, but we feel a little better about serving it.
- This recipe also works well with ground turkey.
