I would imagine that most of you already have all the ingredients you need. It’s basically ground beef, macaroni, spices, milk, beef broth, frozen mixed vegetables, and cheese.

My kids don’t always love to eat their vegetables but they do love everything about this recipe including the vegetables! And the best part for me is it’s really no work at all to include vegetables in this dish. You just mix in 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables the same time you add the uncooked macaroni and in only about 8 minutes it’s all cooked and ready to eat once you mix in the cheese!

    • I haven’t tried it so I am not for sure. I personally would freeze it without the macaroni then add cooked macaroni to the unthawed mixture when ready to eat.

    • You can make it w/o it and I think it would turn out just fine. You may need to add just a little more liquid to make up for it. I also found tomato-less sauce substitutes on google you could check out.

  12. I am an experienced cook and thought this might work bettter in the oven. My skillet burned the bottom of this dish black. Not very edible after that mishap. Next time it will go into a casserole dish and in the oven.
