Cheeseburger Pasta
This creamy cheeseburger pasta is a one-pot dinner made with ground beef, macaroni, cheddar, ketchup, and mustard for a classic burger flavor in every bite!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon hamburger seasoning *see notes
- 12 ounces elbow macaroni or similar-sized pasta
- 4 cups less sodium beef broth plus more broth (or water) if needed
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese cut in pieces
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until no pink remains. Drain any excess grease, then stir in hamburger seasoning.
- Add the pasta, broth, and tomato sauce to the beef. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle boil, cover, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes or until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed, stirring occasionally. If the pasta looks dry, add a bit more broth or water.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ketchup, and mustard, mixing until melted.
Notes
The salt levels vary in different brands of hamburger seasoning; you may need to adjust the amount to your taste.
If you don't have hamburger seasoning on hand, combine 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (or sweet paprika)
