Ingredients

Meat and Seasonings

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Pasta and Dairy

  • 16 ounces uncooked pasta
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Prepare the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Brown Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef while breaking it up into small pieces. Once fully cooked, drain any excess grease and return the beef to the skillet.
  3. Add Cheese and Seasonings: Add cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and onion powder to the beef. Stir continuously until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is combined.
  4. Create Sauce: Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously to create a smooth, creamy cheese sauce.
  5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta into the skillet with the cheese sauce and stir well to coat all the pasta evenly.
  6. Serve: Serve the cheeseburger pasta immediately while warm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you prefer a creamier, saucier pasta, either reduce the amount of pasta used or double the quantities of the cheese and milk sauce ingredients.
