Skillet Italian Beef Penne is an easy family week night meal-ground beef, penne, tomato sauce, beef broth, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, milk, cheese.
If you don’t have a meat chopper (pictured above), you need one!
I love my meat chopper for ground burger recipes such as this recipe. I believe mine is Pampered Chef, but I found a reasonably priced one on Amazon here!
Skillet Italian Penne is Toddler friendly
I fed this to my toddler last week and he asked for more. You cannot go wrong with cheese, ground beef and noodles!
