Mama’s Beefaroni

I got bored with the usual meals that we’ve been having, so I went through my recipe box for some new ideas.  I found one of my Mama’s old recipes that I haven’t made for years.  It’s an easy recipe that has a ‘stick to your ribs’ quality and it’s so good.

I hope you’ll enjoy my Mama’s Beefaroni.

I don’t measure spices.  I like more oregano than Mama did.

This is so much better than the canned, and it’s just as good reheated.
