One-Pot Cheeseburger Macaroni (With VIDEO)

By norsegal8

One-Pot Cheeseburger Macaroni is made with tender pasta and seasoned ground beef that’s topped with melted cheese, this dish not only packs a ton of flavor but can be made in one pan from start to finish. It is like the Hamburger Helper recipe that my mom used to make. But this homemade version is so much better.

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add garlic and cook until golden brown and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Add ground beef to skillet and cook and crumble until browned, about 5-8 minutes. If necessary, drain any excess grease from the pan.

Add Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt, and pepper to ground beef, then quickly stir to coat the ground beef.

Pour in chicken broth and elbow pasta to skillet, then stir. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, and allow to cook until pasta is tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove saucepan from heat. Lift lid and add cheddar cheese and diced tomatoes, then stir to mix. Return lid and let cheeseburger macaroni sit for 2-4 minutes or until cheese has melted.

Serve cheeseburger macaroni immediately with chopped parsley as garnish.
