Homemade Beefaronie

I've never had Beefaroni in a can and I guess Kristin hasn't either. Our conversation consisted of her calling it barfaroni and me telling her this recipe was awesome! I adapted this from a recipe I found online and it's a keeper, and Kristin better not knock it till she tries it!-Sarah
