How do you make cheeseburger macaroni in one pot?
One pot recipes really are a thing of magic, but the process is simple enough. Use the right ingredients in the right order and you’ll only need to wash one pan when you’re done.
- Step 1 – Cook and crumble the ground beef in a large skillet. You can use olive oil and season with minced garlic if you’d like.
- Step 2 – Add your spices and mix them in with the cooked meat. For this recipe, it has Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 3 – Add the liquid (typically chicken broth or water) and uncooked pasta (this recipe uses elbow pasta).
- Step 4 – Bring to a boil, then cover the skillet and cook until pasta is tender, typically 10-15 minutes.
- Step 5 – Mix in cheeses and any other additions you’d like. Cover the pot again and let the cheese melt for 2-4 minutes.
- Step 6 – Serve and enjoy!
Helpful Tips to make One-Pot Cheeseburger Macaroni :
- I like to add canned tomatoes for a more authentic “cheeseburger” experience, but you can get creative with this step. I used canned tomatoes, but feel free to use your favorite fresh tomatoes. You could also use any other type of canned tomatoes (like salsa or tomatoes with green chilies) to add a bit more flavor.
- This recipe calls for cheddar cheese, but feel free to use any type of cheese that you like! Try Mexican blend or American cheese.
What you will need to make One-Pot Cheeseburger Macaroni :
- A large skillet with a lid – To help the pasta cook evenly, a wide skillet works best, ideally one that’s more than 12 inches in diameter.
- Mesh Strainer – Normally you don’t need to drain the grease when cooking with lean ground beef, but if you do, a mesh strainer will help ensure you don’t lose any of the cooked meat.
- Heat resistant spoon or spatula – Ideal for cooking, stirring, and serving.
