I made this last night for my picky eater from Maine. He grew up on this meal and it is his most requested dinner. I had 1 1/2lb. ground beef in the freezer and that was plenty. I did not have as much elbows as I thought so used corkscrew pasta and I bumped it up to 3 cups. Thought I might need to add a bit more water because of the extra pasta but it worked just fine. One reason I chose this recipe is because it called for 2 15 oz. cans of tomato products. I had a 29 oz. can of each and wanted a recipe that would use the whole can. I did not add the extra TBL of salt because of the Adobo and canned tomatoes have a good bit of salt. The only change I will make next time is add a 6 oz can of tomato paste to add a bit more depth. My picky eater was very pleased with this meal. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jimmy!
I’m so glad to hear you and your picky eater enjoyed the recipe — that makes me so happy! 😊 I love how you made it work with what you had on hand — the corkscrew pasta swap sounds delicious, and using the full-size cans of tomatoes was so smart. I bet that little bit of extra pasta made it nice and hearty too.
I also think adding tomato paste next time is a great idea for a richer flavor — I might try that myself! Thanks so much for taking the time to share how you made it your own. It makes my day to know this recipe brought back some favorites from Maine for your family!
