Hana Asbrink is back on #WeeknightWonders to share another simple and delicious recipe: beefy mac rice cakes! Inspired by classic Hamburger Helpers, Korean rice cakes (tteok) substitute macaroni as the tasty carb component to this dish. Along with ground beef, rich tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and lots of cheese, this is an easy-to-make weeknight meal that’s both comforting and satisfying.
