Ingredients for this Skillet Cheeseburger Pasta:
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ¼ pounds 93% lean ground beef
- 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons pickle relish
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon granulated onion
- 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 ½ cups elbow macaroni
- 3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Directions:
- Cook the Pasta: In a large skillet, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
- Brown the Beef: In the same skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon until browned, about 6-7 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: Add the evaporated milk, tomato sauce, pickle relish, Dijon mustard, granulated garlic, granulated onion, Montreal steak seasoning, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk the flour with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the skillet, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine Pasta and Cheese: Add the beef broth and cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture back to a simmer. Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
- Serve: Once everything is combined and the cheese is melted, remove from heat. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy!
