One Skillet Cheesy Beef and Macaroni from Table for Seven

I love meals like this. LOVE them. Meat.Cheese.Veggies.Pasta: All in one dish!

Scoop it to serve and you are done.

This meal was unbelievably easy to make. It tasted great, was very filling and it makes a huge amount. You could seriously serve about 10(?) people with it.

We ate it for dinner and then, Mr Plain brought leftovers to lunch for two days.It’s alot! Alot. If you need to serve a big crowd..this is your dish.

Give this one a try and feed your family for a few days. 👍

Could this be frozen? I’m looking for meals to make and freeze to be ready for my pregnant daughter. Baby due in two months.

Hi Lorraine- I haven't froze this particular dish, so, I can say for certain. But, I don't think it would be a problem. Congratulations to you and your daughter on the pending arrival :)
