Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the white and light-green parts of the scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the ground beef, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, breaking up the beef into small pieces, until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Stir in the ketchup, mustard and tomato paste. Add the milk, macaroni, 2 cups water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the pasta has absorbed most of the liquid and is softened, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Uncover (any remaining liquid will thicken as the dish sits), add the cheese and stir until melted. Garnish with the parsley and remaining scallion greens.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality ground beef. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for a blend that is at least 80% lean.
- Season your beef well. This is another important step for maximizing flavor. Use a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook your beef over medium-high heat. This will help to brown the beef and give it a nice crust.
- Don't overcook your beef. Once it is cooked through, remove it from the heat. Overcooked beef will be tough and dry.
- Use a good quality pasta. This will also make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for a pasta that is made with durum wheat.
- Cook your pasta al dente. This means that it should be cooked until it is still slightly firm to the bite.
- Use a creamy sauce. This will help to make your dish more rich and decadent. You can use a variety of different sauces, such as Alfredo sauce, béchamel sauce, or even just a simple white sauce.
- Add your favorite toppings. This is where you can really get creative. Some popular toppings for cheeseburger pasta include cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, bacon, tomatoes, and onions.
Conclusion:
Cheeseburger pasta is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover ground beef. So next time you are looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give cheeseburger pasta a try.
