Another recipe from board member + local food wizard, Robin!
She says, “Shanen Ebersole asked me to create something that was a quick & easy weeknight kind of dinner using a pound of her new ground beef. So, I came up with Mexi Mac, which was perfect since I’m having a crazy, busy week.”
For this recipe you’ll need ground beef, cheese, salsa, and pasta, which are all available now!
