ONE-POT CHEESEBURGER PASTA



One-Pot Cheeseburger Pasta image

If you're in the mood for burgers but it's too chilly outside to grill, this cheeseburger pasta dish will hit the spot. Everything, including the pasta, cooks in one pot for a quick and easy way to get a satisfying meal on the table without a lot of clean-up.

Provided by Catherine McCord

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1 clove garlic, grated
1 pound ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups whole milk
1 pound elbow macaroni
2 cups shredded Cheddar
1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves

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.
