3. Drain pasta; stir into beef mixture. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and cook until cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes.

Can you freeze Hearty Beef Pasta?​

Freeze cooled pasta mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add stock or water if necessary.

I have days where I need quick recipes , yet have a couple of fussy eaters .
So it has to be good.

My daughters say the same thing and often ask how did you prepare it so quick .

A kilo of beef mince, is twice the amount of mince in the original recipe from Taste of Home, Suzanne.

Are you certain it should be a kilo, or is it supposed to be the 500 grams in the original?

But then you're using half the cheese listed in the original.

I reduce the stock (well, I use broth) to 1 cup too, but other than that, I follow the original recipe and it turns out fabulous.
