One day last week I was having a discussion with B about foods from our childhood and what kind of foods that we considered to be "comfort food". Which led us to BEEF-A-RONI!
Seems as though his Mama actually fed him this stuff as a kid! Well I guess I can't blame her. After all, canned convenience foods were just becoming popular in the 50's!
I happened to mention that my Mama NEVER fed me this stuff, but that I may have had a homemade version of it at Girl Scout camp. Which led me to google "homemade beef-a-roni", where I found this recipe.
Guess what we had for dinner Friday night?
We're having Beef-A-Roni, it's beef and macaroni. Beef-A-Roni's made with meat, Beef-A-Roni's fun to eat. Hooray! For Beef-A-Roni!
Good luck getting THAT out of your head today!!
I think we may be eating it every day for lunch this week - the recipe makes a HUGE amount!
Disclaimer: I never fed canned pasta to my boys :)
We're having Beef-A-Roni . . . . AARRGGGHH!! Make it stop!

Boy that jingle really gets stuck in your head,I don't think I've ever tasted Beef O Roni. We had eight kids in my family. It was more economical to cook from scratch. I did the same for my kids.
