"Simple Beef Dinner might be made of simple pleasures, but the flavor it creates? Huge! Gigantic! The succulent ground beef, the tender elbow macaroni, and the melty, sharp cheddar cheese come together to make the best kind of pasta and meat dish. Some aromatics from garlic powder, a little heat from the chili powder, and some tangy notes from the mustard permeate each bite! Simple Beef Dinner is ready in a flash and brings smiles even faster!..."
