Cheeseburger Pasta

Easy One-Pot Cheeseburger pasta is ready in under 30 minutes. The noodles cook in the same pan with all the other ingredients and then you can top it off with your favorite burger toppings.

Cheeseburger pasta is exactly what it sounds like. You’ve got everything that can go inside a buger; hamburger patty, ketchup, mustard, cheese, tomatoes, etc. Imagine that all mixed with some pasta instead. After eating cheeseburger pasta, I thought of all the possible burger toppings that could go in this as well like fried eggs, french fries, guacamole, etc…. French fries would be interesting. 

I blogged about my Humpty Dumpty Burger earlier last week, crack a couple of eggs on top and cover the pan while the cheese is melting until the eggs are cooked through. That would be really yummy!

Ingredients for Cheeseburger Pasta 

• Ground Beef  - Make sure this is lean ground beef, 93% or higher. Ground turkey is also fine to use 
• Onion  - Don’t like an onion? Leave it out 
• Spices - Onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire Sauce
• Crushed Tomatoes and Tomato Sauce - If you are watching your salt intake look for cans with less sodium in it
• Beef  Stock  - I always use no salt added beef stock or broth so that I can control the amount of salt that goes in. 
• Ketchup - reduced sugar ketchup 
• Dijon Mustard  -  or stone-ground mustard 
• Rotini Pasta - any type of pasta shape will work
• Toppings - Diced Pickles, Roma Tomatoes, and Scallions 
• Other spices you can add in are onion powder, garlic powder, or Worcestershire sauce

Add the onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire Sauce.

Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, ketchup, mustard, pasta, and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through about 13-16 minutes.
