This recipe is seriously good. it’s quite different than your normal pasta casserole dishes because it includes BBQ sauce. Most recipes of this kind include marinara or spaghetti sauce. Trust me, you are going to want to give this recipe a go. it’s super savory and just tastes downright amazing. My husband and kids really seemed to enjoy it, or at least they said that they did haha!
Check out what my pals over at Create Bake Make had to say about this recipe:
We are fortunate to have a toddler with a healthy appetite. In fact his appetite is so healthy, he will give pretty much anything a go – he even loves my green smoothies. However if he had to choose, his favourite foods (in no particular order) the list would include: Pasta, Corn, Chicken Nuggets, Cheese and Toast. He also has an odd
obsessionfascination with BBQ sauce (I blame my husband for this), to the point where he has demanded it be added to a Vegemite and Cheese sandwich (naturally I obliged – hey, at least he ate it!)
Gee, I wish my kids would eat like that!
