Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp steak or beef seasoning
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp mayo or sour cream
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 (15) ounce can petite diced tomatoes with juice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups small spiral pasta or any small pasta shape such as macaroni
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Toppings:

  • shredded lettuce
  • chopped pickles
  • diced red onion

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet to medium heat. One with a fitted lid. Cook ground beef and onions breaking beef into crumbles until no longer pink. Remove any excess grease.
  • To the cooked ground beef add seasonings, ketchup, mustard, mayo, Worcestershire, canned tomatoes, chicken stock, and noodles. Bring to a medium boil then turn heat down to low and place the lid on. Cook until pasta is tender stirring occasionally, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Once the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, turn off the heat and stir in 1 cup of cheese. Top with additional 1/2 cup cheese and allow to melt. Serve and top with your favorite burger toppings.

Notes

Tips:
  • Use a non-stick skillet so the pasta doesn’t stick to the pan. The pasta will release a lot of starch while it cooks causing it to stick to the pan. A non-stick skillet really helps prevent this.
  • Make sure the heat isn’t too high when cooking the pasta. You want to make sure and maintain a medium low simmer while cooking the pasta. This will ensure the liquid doesn’t evaporate before the pasta is cooked.
Other toppings you might enjoy:
  • Crispy bacon crumbles
  • Fresh avocado
