Zippy Beef Casserole

This week our Family Night meal was Zippy Beef Casserole from The Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library (1971), Budget Casseroles.

When this recipe card came up I was thinking, "Oh, great, potato chips and pasta." The kids were excited about it, including the big kid, my husband.



This beef dish goes together really easily and has ingredients you may have in your kitchen right now. We decided to use small shell macaroni instead of elbow macaroni. I purchased the shell macaroni in error.

These casserole recipes are getting easier for my teen to put together. She is really getting the hang of the kitchen and is learning that if you can read, you can cook.

This time the little one got a big job and helped put the chips on top.

The Zippy Beef Casserole turned out to be one of the easiest dishes we've tackled yet. It was tasty. However, I am eliminating the chips next time. Something just does not seem right about putting pasta and potato chips together in a recipe.
