Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Serve your BBQ beef pasta dinner with coleslaw and cornbread muffins or rolls to round out the meal.
  • tip 2
    Like a little heat? Use shredded pepper Jack cheese instead of the cheddar.
  • tip 3
    We tested this Cheesy Barbecue Beef Pasta Skillet recipe with canned corn, but feel free to use cooked frozen or fresh corn instead. You will need about 1 3/4 cups corn.
