Comfort Food



With the cold weather, it seemed like a good time to make some comfort food. Meat and Macaroni is a simple recipe that my Nanny used to make. The great thing is this recipe makes two casserole dishes full, so you can easily freeze one for later. It does have quite a bit of cheese, but you can use low fat cheese to make it a bit healthier, and I used whole wheat macaroni.

To make Meat and Macaroni, cook 1 lb of ground beef with 1/2 tsp garlic salt. Cook about 3 cups (or one package) of macaroni. Mix the pasta and meat together with 1 tin tomato paste, 1 large tin of tomatoes with spices, and 1/2 lb of grated cheese. Divide between casserole dishes and cook, covered, at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

This is a great meal to serve on a cold day!
