Hamburger Macaroni Skillet
Description
The Hamburger Macaroni Skillet features ground beef cooked with a balanced mix of spices including paprika, garlic salt, onion powder, black and red pepper flakes to build a robust flavor foundation. Adding a mixture of beef broth, milk, and cornstarch creates a creamy sauce that thickens gently when heated. Once the sauce is ready, cooked cavatappi pasta and shredded cheddar cheese are combined in the skillet, melting into a cohesive, cheesy texture. Finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, the dish offers a satisfying mouthfeel with creamy sauce enveloping the firm, al dente pasta and flavorful beef bits. This skillet meal is convenient to prepare, requiring only one pan and straightforward steps to achieve a rich yet approachable comfort food option.
