Ground Beef Spaghetti Casserole That's Diabetic Friendly
Whether you are a beginning cook or an experienced one, this is a recipe you will be proud to serve. It is simple, easy and delicious. This dish is easy to assemble and only needs a half hour to bake. In this one dish you have grains, vegetables, meat, and dairy products. Add a tossed salad or steamed fresh broccoli, some crusty bread, and you have an easy, healthy meal for your family to enjoy. If you follow my blogs, you know I am big on family meal time. I believe we need to spend more time in the kitchen and less in the fast food drive-through lanes. Your family will eat better when you cook at home. It doesn't have to be elaborate, just satisfying. If your children are old enough, let them help by setting the table, putting the salad together, filling the water glasses, etc. They can also help after the meal by joining in clearing the table, loading the dishwasher, etc. It is a great time for parents and children to talk about their day and spend valuable time together. This casserole is a great block to building a fantastic family meal!
