Hello from TINA
KASHIAN! Winter is here and I enjoy comfort food. Growing up, beefaroni was on one
of my favorite dishes. Now that I’m a mother, I’m always looking for different
ways to use ground beef. I enjoy meatballs like most people, but I was searching
for something different. I found this dish on online at “allrecipes” and
modified it. You can use any package of pasta you have in your cupboard. I had
pinwheels and it added to the fun of the dish. It’s not difficult to make and is good as a leftover dish.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 24-ounce jar of marinara sauce
1 16-ounce package pasta (anything you have on hand)
Salt and pepper to taste
You can use elbow macaroni or any fun pasta that you have in your cupboard.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over med-high heat until evenly browned. Drain the fat.
While the ground beef is cooking, bring a large pot of water to boil. Add pasta and cook until tender. Transfer to a large casserole dish and add the cooked ground beef, marinara sauce, and Cheddar cheese. Bake for thirty minutes until hot and bubbly.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Not
even her impending nuptials can keep Lucy Berberian, manager of her
family-owned Kebab Kitchen, from the Jersey Shore’s annual Polar Bear Plunge.
But her dive into the icy ocean is especially chilling when she finds a fellow
swimmer doing the dead man’s float—for real . . .
Who would kill a man in cold blood during Ocean Crest, New Jersey’s most
popular winter event? When Lucy learns the victim is Deacon Spooner, the
reception hall owner who turned up his nose—and his price—at her wedding plans,
she can’t help wondering who wouldn’t kill the pompous caterer . . .
Perhaps the culprit is the wedding cake baker whose career Deacon nearly
destroyed? Or the angry bride whose reception he ruined? With her maid of
honor, Katie, busily planning Lucy’s wedding without her, Lucy will have to get
to the bottom of this cold-hearted business in time for Kebab Kitchen’s
mouthwatering Christmas celebration—and before her hometown’s holiday spirit
washes out to sea . . .
