What is Beefaroni?
Beefaroni is a comforting casserole-style dish made with elbow macaroni pasta and a seasoned beef and tomato sauce. It’s similar to a baked ziti or a pasta casserole but typically made with ground beef, making it a great option for those who enjoy a filling, meat-based meal. The name “Beefaroni” is a playful mash-up of “beef” and “macaroni,” and while there are many variations of the dish, the essential elements remain the same: pasta, beef, and a flavorful tomato sauce, often with cheese for an added creamy finish.
