Cheeseburger Pasta
Start gathering your ingredients: Heluva Good! Sharp Cheddar Cheese, tomato sauce, alfredo sauce, cooked elbow macaroni, and ground beef. Scroll all the way down to the printable recipe card for all the details.
Season the beef with salt & pepper. Saute over medium heat until fully cooked & lightly browned. Set aside.
In an oven-proof serving dish, combine the cooked macaroni and ground beef.
Next, pour the tomato sauce and alfredo sauce on top.
Want your dish extra saucy? Feel free to adjust the amount of sauce to suit your preference.
Toss the ingredients together until fully combined. Now, it’s time for my favorite part: the cheese! Slice Heluva Good! Sharp Cheddar Cheese into thin squares and sprinkle throughout the dish, adding a few extra on the topmost layer. I love that this cheese is made with milk and contains zero grams of trans fat per serving!
Place in a 375 degree oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Serve warm. If you made more than you can eat right now, feel free to refrigerate the leftovers- this dish tastes great the next day! Just look at how cheesy this dish is!
Paired with a refreshing iced tea & a side salad, this dish makes a complete meal that’s sure to please the whole family.
Each bite is full of flavor. The sharpness of the cheddar cheese, the savoriness of the beef and the sweetness of the tomato sauce makes this a beautifully-balanced meal. I love that gluten-free Heluva Good! Cheese has a mouth-watering flavor and is available in so many different varieties: Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, Extra Sharp Cheddar, Sharp Cheddar, White Extra Sharp Cheddar, White Sharp Cheddar, White Mild Cheddar, Muenster, Monterey Jack and more!
In fact, I enjoy cheese as a mid-day snack quite often. I love the versatility of Heluva Good! Cheese – it’s perfect for any occasion… even an everyday snack. Everyone knows that the pairing of cheese and crackers has stood the test of time. Here’s how I like to elevate the snack a bit. I spread a bit of pesto sauce on top of some whole-grain crackers. Next, I add a thin square of Heluva Good! Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Easy peasy and totally delicious!
This is perfect for entertaining a crowd or simply preparing a tasty snack for myself.
Sitting in my garden and enjoying a plate of this snack is definitely my idea of a great day! Have you ever tried the pairing of crackers, pesto and cheese?
