EASY SKILLET HAMBURGER AND MACARONI DINNER



Easy Skillet Hamburger and Macaroni Dinner image

I don't know the origin of this recipe, but I've been making it for years, and it was always a family favorite. You can use as much, or as little, cheese as you like and any combination of cheese that suits you. I usually put parmesan down as my first layer, top that with shredded cheddar and then top that with some shredded mozzerella. (I like cheese). I have always used 1 1/2 cups of the dried elbows, 'cause I like my dish a little thicker. Enjoy.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces ground beef
4 ounces white button mushrooms, trimmed and finely chopped
4 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and finely chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 tablespoons ketchup
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
3/4 cup half-and-half
2 cups elbow macaroni (about 8 ounces)
4 ounces mild yellow cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
Chopped fresh parsley and chopped dill pickles, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the beef, mushrooms and onion and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms release their liquid. Let simmer, undisturbed, until the liquid is cooked off, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, until the mushrooms and beef are browned, 1 to 2 more minutes.
  • Add the flour, paprika, mustard powder, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the pot; stir to combine with the beef and mushrooms. Stir in 1/4 cup ketchup. Add the beef broth, half-and-half and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer and add the macaroni. Adjust the heat so the sauce is simmering and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, about 8 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheese and the remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup. Remove from the heat and let sit for a few minutes so the sauce thickens slightly. Serve with chopped parsley and pickles.

CHEESEBURGER MACARONI



Cheeseburger Macaroni image

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup diced onion
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp season salt
1/8 tsp pepper to taste
1 tsp sugar
1 cup hot water
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups uncooked macaroni
1 cup sharp shredded cheddar

Steps:

  • In a large deep skillet brown your hamburger and diced onion. Drain any excess fat off the meat. Add cornstarch to meat mixture and mix well. Add paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, season salt, sugar, pepper, water, pasta and milk to hamburger meat and bring to a boil. Lower your heat and allow mixture to simmer with the lid on for 8 - 10 minutes, until pasta is done cooking. Add cheddar cheese and turn off heat. Stir until the cheese is melted. let sit 5 minutes to thicken before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Macaroni is the classic choice for burger macaroni, but you can use any type of pasta you like. Short pastas, such as penne or shells, are also good options.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold its shape well in the dish.
  • Use a good quality ground beef. The beef is the main ingredient in burger macaroni, so it's important to use a good quality beef that is at least 80% lean. Ground chuck or ground sirloin are both good choices.
  • Season the beef well. Be sure to season the beef with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices before cooking it. This will help to give the burger macaroni a lot of flavor.
  • Cook the beef until it is browned. Don't overcrowd the pan when you're cooking the beef, or it will steam instead of brown. Cook the beef in batches if necessary.
  • Add the cheese at the end. Stir in the cheese at the end of cooking, once the beef is cooked through and the pasta is al dente. This will help to prevent the cheese from becoming overcooked and rubbery.
  • Serve immediately. Burger macaroni is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the cheese is melted.

Conclusion:

Burger macaroni is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover hamburger meat. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a hearty and satisfying dish that the whole family will love.
