Making Taco-roni with Jude + Chef Boyardee Cook-Along
The other day for lunch Jude and I made Taco-roni. Taco-roni is Chef Boyardee Beefaroni combined with tomatoes, black beans and corn, topped with cheese and crunchy tortilla chips for a taco-inspired dish.
He loves pasta and he loves tacos so I thought he might like this recipe. To be honest I was a little skeptical about how it would turn out but he loved it.
He also loved helping me make the Taco-roni. I let him pour all of the ingredients into the pot and stir them up.
Taco-roni is super simple to make.
