Enjoy a classic comfort food mashup with this One-Pot Macaroni Cheeseburger! It’s a quick and easy dish that combines the best of both worlds: creamy macaroni and cheese with juicy cheeseburger flavors, all cooked in one pot for minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 pound elbow macaroni
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Optional toppings: ketchup, mustard, pickles, chopped lettuce

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, elbow macaroni, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroni is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
  6. Serve immediately, topped with your favorite cheeseburger toppings, such as ketchup, mustard, pickles, and chopped lettuce (optional).

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the pot.
