Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 12 oz rotini or any pasta of choice
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for browning beef)
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside. - Brown the Beef:
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil (if using) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat. - Sauté the Onion and Garlic:
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant. - Add the Sauces:
Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. - Combine Pasta and Cheese:
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring to combine. Gradually mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and the pasta is evenly coated. - Serve:
Serve your Cheesy Sloppy Cheeseburger Pasta hot, garnished with extra cheese or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Optional Add-ins: Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or even pickles for an extra twist.
