Homemade Hamburger Helper: Cheeseburger Macaroni
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 12 oz elbow macaroni (I used gluten free)
- 3 cup beef stock
- 2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 1/2 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp dill pickle relish
- 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Additional salt and pepper, optional
Instructions
- Put ground beef or turkey and diced onion in a large, deep skillet and season with salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Cook until browned and drain.
- Stir in macaroni noodles, beef stock and milk.
- Bring to a slow boil, stirring frequently.
- Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occassionally, for about 15-20 minutes, until noodles are tender. (I find that the gluten free noodles cook more quickly than regular noodles, so check frequently.)
- Remove cover and stir in remaining ingredients, stirring to combine well. If the sauce is too thin for your liking, cook for a few additional minutes.
- Enjoy!
Notes
The leftovers of this are fantastic when made with regular pasta, but not so much when you use gluten free noodles. Just something to keep in mind!
