Mac & Cheeseburger Pasta

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 4
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
  • 8 ounces macaroni or 8 ounces shell pasta
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup american cheese or 1 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 -2 tomato, seeded and diced
  • 1/4 cup pickle, finely chopped
  • ketchup, to taste
  • yellow mustard, to taste

Recipe

  • 1 brown the ground beef in a sprayed pan over medium-high heat. when meat is no longer pink, drain and then add salt, pepper, garlic powder & worcestershire sauce. cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until beef is cooked to your liking. i like making it kind of crispy, so i cook longer. set aside and keep warm.
  • 2 in a large saucepan, cook your pasta according to package directions. al dente is best as you don't want the mac & cheese mushy. once pasta is done, drain but do not rinse.
  • 3 return the warm pasta to the saucepan, and immediately add the butter, yogurt, and cheese. stir until everything is well-melted, then fold in the reserved ground beef.
  • 4 put pasta in bowls, and top with sesame seeds, green onions, tomatoes, and pickles. drizzle with generous amount of ketchup & yellow mustard.
