I saw this recipe on the Rachael Ray show one day and decided to try it. I've made it several times since, and it always tastes fantastic! It basically takes 3 of everyone's favorite comfort foods, and turns it into 1 dish!
Cheeseburger Chili Mac
1 box elbow pasta (I tend to use ANY whole wheat pasta that's in the house, who cares what shape?)
1-1/2 lbs ground beef (or turkey)
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup yellow mustard
chili powder (to your taste. I just add a couple shakes. We don't like it too strong!)
1-2 cups beef broth (depending on how liquidy you want it)
shredded cheddar cheese
olive oil
Preheat the broiler (if you don't have broiler function on your oven, just Preheat it to 450).
Heat the oil (2 turns of the pan) over medium high heat in a skillet. Cook the beef. Drain. Add the chopped onion and chili powder; cook until onions are tender. Add ketchup, mustard and broth. Bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer about 4-5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook pasta to al dente, according to the package directions. Pour pasta into your 3-4 quart casserole dish.
Mix beef mixure with pasta in the casserole dish. Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Put under the broiler until the cheese is cooked.
Estimated Cost: about $4
Enjoy!
Love,
Sarah
