One-Pot Cheeseburger Pasta

Cheeseburger Pasta

I hope you love pasta because that's what my last few recipes have been. This One-Pot Cheeseburger Pasta literally tastes like a burger on top of a layer of pasta. It has all things burger - ketchup, mustard, ground beef, and cheese - and then other ingredients related to the pasta - garlic and onion powder, Worcestershire, and chicken broth. This recipe just works. The pasta is tender, the meat is perfectly cooked, and you can have a delicious burger without all the calories. Skip the hamburger bun and try this instead.

This one-pan meal was chosen by my fiancé because he loves both burgers and pasta. We have burgers at least once a week so we wanted to try something a little bit different.

Why You Will Love This One-Pot Cheeseburger Pasta

This recipe is extremely unique and, honestly, I was worried if it would turn out. It ended up being a family favorite and will be added to our monthly dinner menu. The ingredients are combined to make a perfect comfort meal. I have been meaning to make this recipe for a few weeks now and finally got the chance to make it. I wish I would have made it sooner! What's fun about this recipe is you can also add burger toppings such as pickles, lettuce, and tomatoes. 

This is a one-pan meal which makes clean-up a breeze! 

Pro Tip

• Gather all ingredients before making this meal - once you start making it, you will be adding ingredient after ingredient to the pan

Inspiration

This recipe was inspired by Insanely Good Recipes - my families favorite! We made this recipe our own by using onion powder and garlic powder instead of an onion and garlic cloves, we did not use salt, we used chicken broth instead of beef broth (although you can use either), we used one small can of tomato sauce instead of diced tomatoes, and milk instead of heavy cream (again, you can use either).
