My mom new how to feed a crowd on a budget and this is one of her stand by recipes. I make it as a main dish but have also made it for covered dish dinners and as a side dish when we had cookouts. My family likes the traditional style barbecue sauce but I have tried many of the other flavored sauces and it is also good.

Tips:

  • Choose hearty pasta: Macaroni or elbow noodles are classic choices for this dish, as they hold the sauce well.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and absorb too much sauce.
  • Use a flavorful ground beef: Choose a lean ground beef that is at least 80% lean. This will help to keep the dish from becoming too greasy.
  • Brown the ground beef thoroughly: This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Use a flavorful barbecue sauce: Choose a sauce that you enjoy the taste of. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: A generous amount of cheese will help to make the dish creamy and flavorful.
  • Bake until bubbly: This will help to melt the cheese and allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best when served hot, so make sure to serve it as soon as it is out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Beefy barbecue macaroni is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a casual meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious beefy barbecue macaroni that will be a hit with your family and friends.
