Description
One dish, kid lovin' ground beef, pasta, tomato casserole. This dish is tasty, easy to prepare with a minimum of effort, inexpensive and my 39 year son still requests it for dinner. He's getting married and i'm giving his fiance' a copy of the recipe. Maybe 25 years ago i was home from surgery and my bible study group brought dinners and this was one of them. It was #1 and i got the recipe. It's been a family favorite since.
