It’s the holiday season and time is short when it comes to getting everything done.  There’s the decorating, the shopping, the menu planning, and if you’ve got little ones a trip to see Santa is in store.  Where is the time to cook dinner?!

My little ones are all grown up but I still have the rest of the “to do” list items to complete and dinner is just not something I can plan out this month.  So, one pan meals like this Cheesy Hamburger Pasta is a perfect meal to get on the table fast.  I love this dish as it brings back memories of the boxed Hamburger meals that I grew up on but now wouldn’t serve my family.  So much sodium in those boxed dinners plus other unmentionables.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef I use Laura's Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp cornstarch or flour
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup unsalted chicken stock
  • 2 cups milk I use 1% milk
  • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 2 cups elbow pasta or another short pasta
  • 2 1/2 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until no pink color remains, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
  • When ground beef is just about cooked through add the onion and let cook till it’s soft. Then add the garlic and let cook another minute. Drain excess fat.
  • Sprinkle the paprika, salt and pepper over the meat and mix into meat.
  • Whisk the cornstarch with the milk together and add to skillet. Also add the chicken broth, tomato sauce, and pasta. Combine well.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring to combine, and then lower heat to simmer and cover with the lid. Allow to cook 15 – 20 minutes, (stirring a occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking) or until the pasta is tender and almost done.
  • Stir in the cheese, and allow to sit for 5 minutes for the sauce to thicken before serving.
