One-Pot Cheeseburger Macaroni
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 jar Ragu Homestyle Thick and Hearty Traditional Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 pounds elbow macaroni, penne or rotini also work
- 1 can diced tomatoes, drained
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley or scallions to garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot or dutch oven, over medium high heat, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Add the Ragu sauce,Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, broth and milk and give it a good stir. Then, stir in the pasta and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes (adding more liquid if necessary) or until the pasta is al dente and liquid has reduced.
- Remove pot from heat and stir in the diced tomatoes. Then, add the cheese, cover and let it stand for 2 minutes so the cheese can melt. Garnish with chopped parsley or scallions and serve immediately!
