Baby Kate's Beefaroni (Oamc) Toddler-Style image

Creamy beef, carrots and pasta - just enough flavor but mild enough for my 1-year-old, who insists on feeding herself, but still can't chew everything. My daughter loved this. Make a batch and freeze in disposable snack containers (I got 8 small servings, approx 1 cup each.) ***This is an adoptee, I haven't worked through this recipe myself yet.

Categories     Meat

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil (not extra virgin, I use light tasting)
1 lb extra lean ground beef (I used 94% lean)
1/2 small onion, very very finely diced
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated carrots
1 medium fresh tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 cup filtered water
6 slices of pasteurized process American cheese (not processed cheese "food")
8 ounces uncooked pasta (choose something that chubby fingers can easily pick up, I used Barilla brand Pipette)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in skillet.
  • Add beef, carrots, tomatoes and onions. Cook until beef is completely cooked and crumbly; carrots will be soft, onions and tomatoes will be virtually non-existent.
  • During this cooking stage, add the water to make a "sauce".
  • Set aside when done.
  • While cooking meat mixture, cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Drain pasta and combine with meat mixture.
  • Tear up the 6 slices of cheese and stir into beef/pasta mixture until a creamy sauce forms.
  • It's done!
  • Freeze in small containers.
  • To reheat, defrost in refrigerator and heat in microwave or sauce pan. You can add a little water (2 tsp or so) to keep moist while reheating.
