Recipe Notes:
- I’ve used sharp cheddar cheese in this recipe but you can use whatever you enjoy the most. It’s best to grate your cheese at home for this recipe instead of using pre-shredded cheese for best texture and taste.
- Serve this cheeseburger macaroni as is or with a side dish such as a light green salad or dinner rolls.
- Use gluten-free pasta in this recipe if you have gluten sensitivities.
– This mac and cheese can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month in an airtight container once completely cooled.
– Defrost any frozen leftovers overnight in the refrigerator to reheat in the microwave or the oven at 350℉ for about 30-35 minutes till hot and bubbly throughout.

1. Add a kick of heat to your mac and cheese by including hot sauce, cayenne pepper, or red chili flakes.
2. Other varieties of short pasta can be used but you will need to check the cooking directions on the box. Remember too that if you use larger pasta, then you may need more liquid since it will absorb more.
3. Ground pork, chicken, or turkey can be used instead of ground beef. The ground poultry has less fat which may alter the taste of the dish slightly.
4. Add veggies like corn to this recipe for a lovely sweet and crunchy addition to the soft and gooey mac and cheese.
Skillet Cheeseburger Macaroni
- In a large (15 inch) skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, crumbling as it cooks, until no pick remains. Drain well and return to the skillet.
- To the skillet, add the elbow macaroni, broth, milk, ketchup, seasoning, mustard, and onion powder. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and cook while stirring often for 10 to 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in the cheese until melted and serve immediately.
