Natalie and Marisa are on a mission to feed our children, we both have some picky little eaters. If you are a parent I'm sure you have experienced this before. This blog will be our tales of victories and big fat Fails in the kitchen. Either they like it or they hate it, there's only one way to find out.

Paula Deen is a rockstar, or is it Wayne?

Waynes Beef Macaroni and Cheese 



Ingredients:

1 teaspoon each dried basil, cumin, and dried oregano
Salt and pepper
3 cup canned crushed tomatoes
2 lb lean ground beef
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 cup chopped onion
2 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lb box elbow macaroni
2-3 cup grated cheddar cheese

Directions

Cook the macaroni according to package directions; drain and set aside. Heat the oil in a skillet; add the peppers, onion, and garlic, and saute until soft. Add the ground beef and saute until browned. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste, and the basil, cumin, and oregano. In a large bowl, combine the macaroni and the beef mixture. Spread this mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Top with the cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned and bubbly.

Im not sure who this "Wayne" character is, but this recipe is fantastic. Again, at first I was a little scared of this recipe...I find it weird when people put things like green peppers in ground beef with tomatos, but mmmmm. 

EVERY single person at the dinner table, 6 and 3 included had SECONDS!!!! Thats right, the impossible to please Princess Penelope had TWO plates of food. I would kiss Paula deen right now if I could.

The 6 year old loved it, and complimented his way through dinner. My husband and I gobbled it up as well. I recommend this one to every struggling mom out there. Feed it to your kids!!
