Nana’s Amazing Beefaroni

This dish takes me back to my childhood. It was created by my mom, aka “nana” and passed along to us. Of course the recipe was never written down. It’s a “dump this” and “add that until it looks right”. So, I think I have it mastered now and want you to enjoy it as well.This easy recipe is quick to make and oh so yummy. It’s even better served as a leftover. It just gets better with time.
