Beef and Vegetable Pasta

Whether you cook for a crowd or just a very hungry family – this Beef and Vegetable Pasta is for you. We enjoy this dish very much and I have to hand out the recipe frequently.

My daughter normally has a problem with a baked Cheese topping. Hpwever, combined with breadcrumbs … well, she loves it !

I suppose most of my cheese topped dishes will now include breadcrumbs as I usually leave a corner without cheese before baking, or I remove the crusty cheese before dishing up hers.

Beef and Vegetable Pasta-a

This is an extremely filling dish and you could really feed up to 10 people with only a side or two of salads. If served on it’s own, I would say, you will get 6 – 8 large portions.

Dishes like these are fine with me because any leftovers and the kids will take some to work for lunch. They are only too happy when there are leftovers as that means they do not have to make their own lunch – just spoon into a lunchbox and off they go!

Looks like a great recipe for a crowd! I love a casserole! Can you make it ahead and then stick it in the fridge until time to bake it?
