Super-fun riff on mac & cheese, with all the flavors of a cheeseburger folded in—tomatoes, pickles, onions, yellow mustard, and of course beef and cheese.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Uncooked onion

1¼ cup(s), chopped, finely chopped, divided

Uncooked extra lean 96% lean ground beef

12 oz

Kosher salt

1 tsp

Garlic powder

¾ tsp

Small uncooked pasta shells

9 oz

Canned tomato sauce

8 oz

1% low fat milk

½ cup(s)

Mustard

1 Tbsp, yellow variety

Reduced fat cheddar cheese

4 oz, sharp variety, shredded

Grape tomatoes

1 cup(s), chopped, divided

Chopped dill pickle

½ cup(s), divided

Romaine lettuce

1 cup(s), shredded

Instructions

  1. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. Add 1 cup onion and beef; cook until the beef is browned, stirring frequently to crumble, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 cups water, salt, garlic powder, pasta, and tomato sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until the pasta is tender, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the milk and mustard. Gradually add the cheese, stirring until it melts. Remove the pan from the heat; stir in ½ cup tomatoes and ¼ cup pickles. Top the pasta mixture with the lettuce, remaining ½ cup tomatoes, and remaining ¼ cup each onion and pickles.
  3. Serving size: about 1 cup
