A hearty and comforting dish that combines the flavors of cheeseburgers with pasta, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb short pasta (like elbow macaroni or shells)
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (85/15 or 90/10)
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 15 oz canned diced tomatoes (undrained)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned. Drain any excess grease.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the milk and 2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is golden.

Notes

Use a mix of cheeses for a richer flavor. Consider adding mozzarella or pepper jack for creaminess.
