Creamy Ground Beef Macaroni Recipes

ONE-SKILLET CHEESY BEEF AND MACARONI

Steps:

• Heat a very large skillet (for this full recipe, it should be a deep 12-inch pan) over medium high heat and brown the beef, stirring until no pink remains, about 5 minutes. Drain the beef and set aside.
• Wipe out the skillet, add the oil, and heat it over medium heat. Add the peppers, carrots, onion and garlic and sauté until almost tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the ground beef back to the skillet, as well as the basil, oregano, tomatoes with their juice, water, Worcestershire sauce, and chili powder if using. Season with salt and pepper, turn the heat to high, and bring to a simmer. Add the pasta, stir and cover. Lower the heat to medium and simmer covered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender, and most of the liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and season again if needed.
• Sprinkle the cheese over the casserole then cover for just 1 more minute until the cheese is melty, and serve. Serve this right out of the pan.

CASSEROLE SUPREME (HAMBURGER MACARONI CASSEROLE)

Steps:

• Place the ground beef in a heavy skillet to brown, breaking it up with a spatula. If the meat is on the lean side, add a tablespoon or two of olive oil to the pan.

• Season liberally with salt and pepper.
• Cook until onions and garlic are softened and meat is completely cooked.
• Add the tomatoes and softened cream cheese
• Stir around so the cream cheese melts evenly into the tomatoes.
• Let simmer for about ten minutes or so.
• With the heat on low, stir in the sour cream.
• Taste and adjust the seasonings.
• Fold the sauce into your freshly drained pasta.
• Serve as-is or spoon into individual ramekins or a big old casserole.
• Bake at 350F until the pasta on top has a bit of crunch to it and the casserole is bubbling all around the sides.
• Let sit for ten minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!
