My brother introduced this Epicurious recipe to the family almost 12 years ago and we’ve kept it in regular rotation ever since.

After making this dish on Christmas Eve for my family, I realized that I had never shared it on the blog and decided that it was about time I did!

For my updated version of the Mediterranean Macaroni and Beef Recipe I added beef broth to cook the pasta right into the dish, thus making it a “One Pot Dish” and even easier than the original recipe!
