Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Macaroni Recipe

American · Main course · 30 min total

A homemade version of the classic boxed dinner, this one-pot cheeseburger macaroni is creamy, cheesy, and ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups elbow macaroni
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup milk
• 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cheddar cheese soup
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp mustard powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with the diced onion until beef is browned and onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the elbow macaroni, beef broth, milk, and condensed cheddar cheese soup. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.
4. Remove from heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, ketchup, mustard powder, salt, and pepper until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy.
5. Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve hot.

Tips

• For extra flavor, top with chopped fresh parsley or chives.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk.
• Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
