🍳 Instructions
- Brown the Beef
In a large, deep skillet or sauté pan, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes. Drain off excess grease. - Add Flavor
Stir in the minced garlic, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Let it cook for 1–2 minutes to let the flavors blend. - Add Pasta and Liquid
Pour in the uncooked pasta, beef broth, and milk. Give everything a good stir. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover the skillet and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. - Get Cheesy
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella (if using) until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thick and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. - Top & Serve
Serve immediately. Top with diced pickles, sliced green onions, or even a sprinkle of sesame seeds to really drive home that burger-in-a-bowl vibe.
🔥 Why This Works
- One pot – No need to boil pasta separately or dirty a ton of dishes.
- Fast & filling – From fridge to fork in about 30 minutes.
- Crowd pleaser – Kids love it, adults love it, and leftovers are just as good the next day.
- Customizable – Use what you have: turkey instead of beef, pasta shells instead of elbows, or even a splash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
📝 Pro Tips
- Want a smoky twist? Add a dash of smoked paprika or swap in BBQ sauce for the ketchup.
- Make it deluxe: Stir in a spoonful of cream cheese or sour cream before serving for extra richness.
- Add veggies: Toss in some frozen peas or sautéed bell peppers to sneak in some greens.
❤️ Final Thoughts
This isn’t gourmet — it’s comfort food chaos at its finest. It’s the kind of meal that doesn’t apologize for being over-the-top cheesy and wildly satisfying. It’s fast, it’s hearty, and it tastes like the kind of late-night diner dish you dream about… but you made it in one skillet, in your own kitchen, with zero stress.
If you’ve ever wished your burger came with a side of mac and cheese — this is your dream in one pan.
