Skinny One Pot Cheeseburger Pasta Skillet

Used ground chicken instead of beef. Added zucchini, yellow pepper, and a bit of cumin. It tasted way better than I thought it would. It's definitely better than hamburger helper. I will be putting it in the rotation.

I added taco seasoning.

It's a lot like hamburger helper but can be made more how you want.. kiddo approved..

I used Banzaa noodles and I think it affected the texture.

Not my favorite, but still good! I followed the recipe but added extra seasoning (onion powder, salt, pepper, taco seasoning) due to others’ comments on blandness, yet it was still mild. It was also a bit too watery and oily. On the plus side, it’s quick to make with few ingredients.

Added onions while cooking the meat. Put diced pickles and thousand Island on top. Family approved 😋

Didn't like cooking the pasta in the dish. The taste was not to our liking.

This is delicious. I added a dash or Worcester, mustard, rosemary, and green pepper from the garden, real onion and garlic. Very yummy! Making again in the future. (Also, don't forget to season your meat)

Meh

I would definitely add some more salt and some pepper. Also if you like onion powder, I would add it too.

I added 1tsp of onion powder and 1tsp of chili powder and it was so yummy! I didn’t add the shredded cheese or the green onion until serving. Added a sprinkle on top and it was perfection. Like grown up hamburger helper. Yum

I've made this several times. Last night, I added chili powder, much better!

Super quick and easy to make. Instead of just mixing in the cheese I cooked it a little longer and let the cheese melt some because it was too watery. Not thick enough so the cheese helped thicken it right up.

It needed more seasoning, but it wasn’t bad.

Kid favorite

The meat could use more seasoning than what the recipe states if you like a lot of flavor and I personally used a splash more chicken broth, but overall it's really good!

I added onions, garlic, tomato puree, a dash of Worcester sauce, and extra herbs. Delicious

Added more spices and some chopped onions

Added steak seasoning. Delicious

Added seasoning

Pretty bland I tried dressing it up some but need more of something. I'll try it again and flavor it better.

Added onions, and seasoned the meat with the spices and Worcestershire sauce. Use diced tomatoes w/green chiles and added heavy cream to the sauce.

I loved the idea of cheeseburger pasta, but essentially changed the entire recipe. I added onions, didn't have canned tomatoes so I cut fresh cherry tomatoes into quarters and added about 3/4 cup on tomato sauce to the ground beef mixture along with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, a dash of Worcestershire sauce and probably about a table spoon of spicy mustard. I cooked bowtie pasta in the chicken broth until tender then mixed in the pasta after draining the excess broth. I then put it in a baking dish, covered it in cheese and popped it in the oven at 350° until melted!

Delicious, I did add a little bit more pasta, and I would definitely add some onions. next time, apart from that, I wouldn't change a thing

Super easy, personally added black pepper and next time will probably cook diced onions with the beef

Wasn’t sure how we’d feel about the melted cheese part, but husband likes cheeseburgers so thought I’d try. I thought it was okay, but everyone else thought it was a bit odd. Husband didn’t like the tomatoes.

Husband loved it

Tasty and really easy to make. I used a beef oxo stock pot for stock and added a couple of dashes of Worcester sauce too.

Tasty tried with ground pork

I wouldn't say I had "cheeseburger " flavor but it was pretty good! I used Ground turkey instead and also added more seasonings after reading the comments. Had avocados so added those at the end as well. The one pot cooking is very nice though!

Like others had said, it wasn’t overly seasoned, but I think that’s why the kids liked it. Even the picky eater finished it all. Will definitely make again.

Added a bit of cayenne! Delicious.

I really enjoyed this. Added some extra seasoning as many reviews indicated to do so. The kid didn’t care for it, but I think she would have enjoyed it with added ketchup, perhaps.

It lacks flavour and needs more seasoning.

Little bit salty but good

Added a little salt and pepper to ground beef while cooking. I also added a little bit on minced onion and a tiny bit of minced jalapeño while cooking the beef. It did seem watery, so I boiled off some of the liquid and turned out well.

I added extra seasoning. One of my staples.

Used rigatoni instead of macaroni and pho broth instead of chicken broth. I also added taco seasoning and Parmesan cheese taste really good.

Like many others, I added some seasoning: onion powder, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste.

Good! I added 1/2 tsp of onion powder, then 1 Tbsp of tomato paste after the hamburger was done cooking. For the cheese, I used a blend of triple cheddar and a bit of fiesta blend cheese.

Healthier, tastier and more cost effective than hamburger helper. I halved the recipe except for the tomatoes, and it still made 3 servings. May be too salty for some. Leave out salt until after cooking. 10/10

Very good! Added some spices. Will be in our rotation!

Add your favorite spices to personalize and add flavor.

I followed the recipe but seasoned well added real garlic also jalapenos and mushrooms taste awesome not too thick not too thin just let it sit for 10 minutes

Everyone liked this.

Wasn't horrible but something just seemed to be missing.

Good with modifications. My sauce was too watery to mix in cheese, even after 15 minutes of simmering (maybe because I didn't use quite enough macaroni) so I made a roux in a seperate saucepan with 2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp flour, salt, pepper and about 2/3 c milk with the reserved liquid I couldn't absorb. Then I removed roux from the heat and stirred in cheese. Added back to the mix and it was delicious. Probably not quite as healthy though.

It was good! I used fire roasted tomatoes and added some Worcestershire sauce, otherwise it was a tad bland. It was really fresh tasting the first day, but the leftovers weren't quite as good–as pasta usually does it dried out and got soft. Kiddo loved it!

Added half tsp of onion powder, no extra salt

Simple, not bad.

A pretty easy recipe for an inexperienced chef. I added like a lot of people said, extra spices (not quite double) I served with relish and Peas for the side.

I usually don't switch up a recipe before making it for the first time, but I decided to based off of the previous notes. This is what I added: 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes, substituted tomatoes for Rotel, and added fiesta cheese. I also added ground pepper while browning the meat and during cooking. Mixed green onions into the mixture rather than topping. Came out spicy, but it tasted good.

Easy, filling and quick. Winner all round!

I wish there was a thumbs to the side button because this really didn't hit the mark without a ton of extra doctoring. Be prepared to add in spices galore to not make it taste bland if you like seasoned food.

Needed more flavor, added worcestershire, cayenne, and a bit of red pepper. I also added some American cheese to make it more creamy and some peas which added a nice sweetness and pop.

Taste better than it looks :)

Everyone enjoyed. Added tomato paste and onions to ground beef. 2024/01 - made as is and needed the paste & onions.

It was delish but u definitely wanna add some cracked pepper to it, glad I did while it was still simmering. 3 yr old approved too!

This was amazing. I added a little tomato paste to the ground beef while cooking it. And used a taco cheese mix. 🤤

I used Rotel tomatoes with green chiles. Kicked it up a notch. I also doubled the cheese and added about 2tbls of milk when stirring in the cheese.

Very tasty?

I would lessen the broth a little and add Velveeta next time to make it creamy! Delicious and simple for anybody. Loved it! I had relish on the side like a fellow Whisk cook recommended.

I used macaroni noodles and added chopped onion that I had leftover.

This was so good! I added a half of an onion and a clove of garlic. Thank you for a great dinner.

I was a little skeptical at first, but it turned out very delicious! I made a few alterations. I used less tomatoes than what was recommended because my husband has gastritis. I also used queso quesadilla cheese.

Tues dinner

I wasn’t a fan, my sister wasn’t either. My husband and toddler seemed to enjoy it but they’re both not picky and both of them were hungry. My sister said it tasted like it was missing something and I agreed.

Super easy one pot meal. Needed a bit more flavor. Added another tsp each of garlic and smoked paprika. Added some dill relish after it the broth was absorbed. Would make again.

Added some onion powder and Lawrys seasoning salt. Used less chicken broth than called for and put extra noodles in. Splash of cream at the end. Delicious!

This was okay. It turned out a little soupy. I would make it again but maybe cut back a bit on the broth or add more noodles.

Simple recipe that my fussy 7yo loved :) I added I finely chopped onion with the beef, and some onion flakes with the spices. Added parmesan to the grated cheese. Would be nice with mushrooms and I will probably sneak in some grated vegetables next time.

Our family loved this! After reading some notes, I decided to use chopped onion, a yellow pepper, and fresh garlic instead of the powders. I also reduced to he amount of broth by about 3/4 cup. I used gluten free pasta and it worked great! I stirred a little plain Greek yogurt in my portion along with some hot sauce. Definitely making this again. Loved the 1 pot clean up!

I doubled(ish)the spices and put in a decent amount of onion powder too. I don't think the green onion really added much to the dish. It felt like it was missing something but I'm not sure what. Maybe mustard or pickles. Either way, super quick, hands off meal with zero prep (besides cutting cheese if you don't get shredded). Theres not too many one pot zero prep recipes that don't have a bunch of preservatives in it, so this goes into the favorites pile for its simplicity. All you moms with newborns or clingy kids will like this.

Really good recipe for a weeknight. I added carrots (just to get rid of some), and a splash of heavy cream after giving the tomatoes/broth a few seconds to simmer. It came together really nicely.

So easy to make!

Kinda just tastes like goulash, and im not complaining. Could season it more, though. I doubled the recipe, and we will barely have leftovers. We eat alot apparently

Too liquidy, added zucchini Will definitely make again

I added a chopped sweet onion to the soup and crumbled bacon on top. I also used beef broth instead of chicken. It tasted like a bacon cheeseburger. I added a little Italian spice as well.

Wasn't hamburger forward but great none the less. Loved it and so did the kid!

As you can see I ate a bunch of it before thinking to take a photo. It was pretty good! I run a lot and there are some days when I want a BIG feed so this is for those days. All the other reviews are spot on, to boost the flavor I did half an onion and a few cloves of garlic, some fresh chilis, and cooked the beef in that same pan because I didn’t have one big enough for everything. I cooked the pasta in the chicken stock and tomatoes separately, though I did find the pasta stuck a lot so lots of stirring was necessary. When I combined everything it was still sticking but this got better when I added the cheese. Extra dry spice, lots, including dried onion and garlic, red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning. I also used four scallions instead of two. The result was really nice and a lot like hamburger helper 😁 Next time I think more tomato would be nice, maybe two cans.

Was nice but missing a flavour! so next time will add something to it but do t know what yet!!!

Very good. The flavor is wide with spice and savory. Great weeknight dinner.

Added 1/2 chopped onion and fresh garlic. Needs some extra spices

Doubled the burger

Made with 400g pasta as was using 750g mince but kept stock the same as others had said it can be a thin sauce. Came out perfect, did add some Cajun spice to it as was worried would be a little bland and it tastes great

So yummy! We made with cavatappi and added onion and mushroom in. My boyfriend added some hot sauce as well for the special touch. This will be in our weeknight rotation! Yum!

Loved it! Very good and easy to make!

Loved it!

It turned out really well. I might add peas next time since that's one of few vegetables my daughter will eat

Yummy

Added cooked onions, peppers and corn. Needs some flavor or hot sauce

This was pretty good! I'm putting the bland tag on it because while I really enjoyed it, I feel like it could use something else to really spruce it up. I would probably mince up garlic instead of powder. I added garlic powder and more paprika a second time rather than following the instructions, garnished with red pepper flakes, and I used 2.5cups of chicken broth instead of 3. I also added extra cheese. Really good though!

Sauce was thinner then expected. Will probably reduce how much broth used or reduce sauce some more on the stove before adding cheese

I added a little Italian seasoning. This photo is while cooking, afterward most liquid was absorbed. I use Fall shaped noodles from Aldi. Very good!

Added a bunch of crushed red pepper to add some spice. Next time, will add veggies- bell pepper or mushroom, perhaps!

Quantity seemed a bit shy. Followed for serving for 6 and that made 4 meals. Otherwise very good.

Very easy to make - however, it was dry and the noodles didn’t taste right. I’d like to try different noodles and maybe a bit of something to keep it from drying so quick.

A total hit! This was a true 30 minute, one pan meal and I couldn't be happier. It was so easy and so delicious! I added leftover sauteed mushrooms from a previous meal and can also see peas or bell peppers in this. This has so much flavor as it is but I think next time I'll try fire roasted diced tomatoes just to give it a kick. Will absolutely be adding this to our regular rotation.

Added some cherry tomatoes to the mix, cooked a bit longer but worth it. the dish was amazing

Added dried minced onion and coriander. 1/2 recipe

Worked out alright, kids liked it.

Easy recipe, nothing totally special but it was a good meal. Thank you for the idea

I added a small package of Velveeta cheese sauce and a can of drained peas and it came out great.

I didn’t make it thicker like the recipe calls for so I made it more into a hamburger tortellini soup and it’s absolutely amazing!! My boyfriend raves about it and my friends always ask what it is when I post it!

Used beyond meat and also vege broth. I doubled the seasoning and little extra cheese. Delish! The one thing I'll say is it took a bit for some of the liquid to thicken but worked out very nicely. Also used lentil pasta for extra fiber and protein.

I made some changes to the recipe, but it was a hit. I used vegetarian hamburger (Impossible), vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, halved cherry tomatoes instead of canned, garlic cloves instead of garlic powder, and added two diced jalapeños. We forgot the scallions as well. I am sure the original recipe is very good, but I wanted to use what we had on hand. Yum!

Serving size is small. I would double the recipe to be honest! And half the smoked paprika it was too strong for me.

It was really good 🙂 although I would personally do half a can of diced tomatoes instead of a full can and I like to add a lot of seasoning 😋

Fried onion, green pepper, garlic in the Ninja before browning hamburger with salt and pepper. Very tasty altho I think it could use a little bit more spice to give it some zip. Hubby loved it and went back for thirds!

Great recipe! I made it in my ninja foodie. I made it with ground turkey. I added a little bit of wondra to thicken up the sauce.

We miste nog iets van kruiding...

Omitted the garlic added a bit more paprika and use smoked lamb stock not chicken stock a as well and twice the amount of pasta homemade.

Added more seasonings

Very good and easy to make!

Substituted ground chicken for the beef. Delicious, simple and quick!

Grated cheese is saltier than shredded, so when I made the substitution it ended up salty, but still tasty

Just didn't have much flavor. We had to add more spices and my husband added sour cream.

Added in onion powder and used beef broth instead of chicken broth. Delicious

Bland despite me adding other herbs and spices to the recipe 🤷🏻‍♀️

Added a can of rotel and used poblano chicken broth

I didn’t have a can of diced tomatoes or smoked paprika so I diced up some Cherry tomatoes and added a can of tomato paste and 1 tsp of onion powder. It was delicious!!!!

I would add some garlic to it

No added salt needed

Great dish! Truly a 30-minute meal in 1 pan. Not as great as a leftover.

Needs more spice. Very plain. Will not make again.

Added a shallot with the beef, and added onion powder, oregano and thyme. Doubled the spices in the recipe. Topped with chopped pickled gherkin and served with coleslaw. Beautiful! Easy and really filling.

Love this easy and yummy 😋

Instead of garlic powder I used minced garlic and added onion to the burger.

Original dish was plain. Sautéed hamburger with a shallot. Added onion powder, pepper, and pickle juice from jar.

Used ground turkey instead of beef. I decreased pasta to 4 oz due to carbohydrates and diabetes. Also reduce amount of chicken broth to 2 cups. I also used gluten free penne instead of macaroni.

I wish I never made this for my family, now it’s all they want to eat. But can’t complain- easy, one pan, comfort and everyone loves it. Add more tomato’s

Good comfort food on a chilly night. Quick and easy to make.

It was okay. I think I expected it to taste more like a cheeseburger than it did. That being said, it was a very solid but simple meal

Follow the directions! Yes! Add uncooked pasta in and let it do its thing. Absolutely delicious!!! I went a little overboard on the cheese but still SO good.

I made a huge batch of this. It was perfect for a cold, wet winter night. Made excellent left overs!

Delicious!

This was pretty good. Easy. Yummy. Not outstanding, but exactly what we expected.

Good basic recipe. Next time I'll add onion and bacon and will replace half the tomatoes with tomato sauce.

I used turkey sausage and added yellow bell pepper and did not use scallion. Otherwise cooked as written and we love it! I like that it’s a quick and simple recipe. Hubby wants it again in the future.

I loved this and the sauce was the perfect consistency!

I did sauté an onion with the ground beef & added a couple large tablespoons of cream cheese with the shredded cheddar. This made it very creamy & delicious! A keeper recipe.

Added chopped pickles on top with scallions and to make creamier I added half a block of cream cheese. Very delicious!

Make it with gluten free macaroni.

Soooo good! Way better than I expected this to be. It's gonna be a staple now. I added onion and garlic in when I sauted the beef and doubled the spices, also added in some oregano and pepper. So good

Used fusili noodles and added 4 cups of broth for noodles to cook.

The meal itself was quick and easy to make! My toddler loved it and ate multiple bowls. I found it to be bland though, unfortunately. Definitely needs more flavor but that’s easy to fix with extra seasonings.

Used tomato sauce instead of tomatoes. Had to cook it longer.

Maybe next time add something fresh like peppers or a vegetable. My kids loved it so much they took it to school. Needed something spicy.

Leave out the smoked Paprika

Super super simple my 1 yr old loves it and the smoked paprika is everything. Def adding this to a weekly or bi-weekly dinner
