My kids really love this meal…I mean, pizza flavored pasta? How can you go wrong? This recipe can easily be doubled and it’s so versatile, you can alter it to suit your families tastes. I like to mix up the ground beef with a little bit of sausage just for a zestier taste. I always toss in tons of veggies as well so that we get in our recommended daily doses… and because I really love vegetables! Whatever the kids don’t like, they can easily pick out. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Julie’s Eats & Treats:
