I found this amazing recipe not so long ago. I knew I’d love it, so I immediately tried it. As expected, my family enjoys every bit, and I have been making this without a fail ever since. And this does not require a box of a mix, which is so much better with all the preservatives inside that little box. This became one of my favourite go-to. Made this with ground beef, but you can try using ground turkey or ground chicken instead. Either way, this macaroni is crazy delicious!
