I love to play around with mac and cheese flavors to make them taste like classic dishes that we all love! This one tastes exactly like a big, juicy, all-American cheeseburger with lots of melty cheese, grilled onions, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. If you shut your eyes and take a bite, you'll be amazed! A green salad or Caesar salad is a great accompaniment for this.

Time 1h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (16 ounce) package cavatappi (corkscrew macaroni)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 pound lean ground sirloin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 quart milk
½ cup unsalted butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
16 slices deli-style American cheese, cut into pieces
1 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
1 pinch ground nutmeg
½ cup ketchup
⅓ cup yellow mustard
1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh dill
4 small tomatoes, sliced
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 cup crushed potato chips
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add oil. Cook cavatappi pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain well in a strainer and set aside. Rinse and wipe out the pot.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add ground sirloin, breaking it up and cooking until brown all the way through, 7 to 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, heat milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, making sure it does not boil.
  • Melt 1/2 cup of butter in the large pot over low heat and add flour. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. Add hot milk to the pot, whisking constantly, until thickened and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add American cheese, Cheddar cheese, and Cheddar-Jack cheese. Season with 1 tablespoon salt, a pinch of nutmeg, and black pepper to taste. Stir until melted, about 2 minutes more. Add ketchup, mustard, and dill. Stir cooked pasta and sirloin mixture into the cheese. Pour macaroni and cheese into a large baking dish.
  • Arrange sliced tomatoes on top of macaroni and cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine break crumbs, potato chips, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil in a resealable plastic bag. Seal bag and shake to combine. Sprinkle topping evenly over tomatoes in the baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly and bread crumb topping is browned, 30 to 35 minutes.
