There are still foods that I miss from before I was gluten free. Beef-A-Roni has always been one of them. I loved it as a kid. I have been working on a healthier and gluten free recipe for beef-a-roni for quite some time now, but I could never get the sauce to taste the way I remembered it. I made a pot roast the other night and the sauce from the roast reminded me of the beef-a-roni sauce. I immediately knew I had the secret sauce!
Honestly, to make this recipe right, you have to make the pot roast first. It is the combination of the tomato sauce cooking with the roast all day that creates the perfect flavor that you want for beef-a-roni. If you are trying to plan out some meals for the week, add these two recipes into your rotation for delicious, filling meals.
