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.

CHEESY STOVETOP MAC WITH SAUSAGE AND KALE



Cheesy Stovetop Mac With Sausage and Kale image

Quick, easy and delicious, this one-pan meal is perfect for weeknights when cleaning up is the last thing you want to do. It's reminiscent of hamburger skillet macs, which gained popularity in the 1970s, thanks to Hamburger Helper, when beef prices were high and families wanted to stretch a pound of meat. This kale-packed version spices up that classic with herby sweet Italian sausage, fresh garlic, red-pepper flakes and hot sauce. Like the original, the starch from the pasta helps thicken the cooking liquid into a quick sauce that becomes creamy once the cheese is added. Serve with a crisp green salad and toasted bread.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 white onion, diced
1 large bunch kale, leaves only, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt
3 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 pound loose sweet Italian sausage (see Tip)
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water
1 pound short pasta (such as macaroni, cavatappi or fusilli)
2 cups/8 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar
1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, wide pot or a very large, deep skillet over medium-high, then add the onion, kale and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale has cooked down and the onion is smaller in size, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until the paste darkens slightly, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the sausage and cook, breaking the meat into small pieces, until it loses its pink color, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the red-pepper flakes, sprinkle with salt and give everything a good stir. Add the chicken broth and pasta and stir to combine. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, place a lid on the pan and cook until the pasta is soft but still has some bite to it, about 10 minutes. Be sure to check on the pasta and stir every now and again. (The sauce will have thickened from the starch in the pasta.)
  • Add the cheese and hot sauce and mix well. Add salt and additional hot sauce to taste before serving.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful casserole, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
  • Add a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce to the beef mixture for extra umami.
  • If you like things spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño to the beef mixture.
  • Use a high-quality macaroni for the best results. A classic elbow macaroni or a smaller pasta like shells or penne will work well.
  • Don't overcook the macaroni. It should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Use a creamy, flavorful cheese. A sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or a combination of cheeses will all work well.
  • Top the casserole with a breadcrumb topping for a crispy, golden brown crust.
  • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Stove-top hamburger mac casserole is a quick and easy one-pot meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is a hearty and satisfying dish that is sure to please the whole family. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful hamburger mac casserole that everyone will love.
