ONE-POT CHEESEBURGER MACARONI
Nostalgic for the boxed cheeseburger macaroni dinner from your childhood? Then whip up this homemade version of Hamburger Helper that's just as satisfying as the classic. The recipe is super quick and budget-friendly, leaning on pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand. We use shredded Cheddar to make the dish extra cheesy and finish with chopped parsley for a fresh bite. Perhaps best of all: Everything cooks in one pot, even the pasta!

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in the tomato paste and Dijon until combined. Pour in the chicken stock and 1 teaspoon salt, stir to combine and bring to a boil, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the elbow macaroni and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the pasta is al dente, 9 to 11 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Cheddar and cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the parsley. Garnish with more parsley, if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
CHEATING CHEESEBURGER MACARONI
This is one of those happy accidents that happened when I had to make up dinner from what I had in the cabinet. It serves a whole family and the kids love it. I used a mixture of what was left in the bottom of the pasta boxes for the pasta. Any short pasta will work. Try adding broccoli, peas or carrots as a variation.

CHEESEBURGER MACARONI FOR A CROWD
This is about as far from gourmet as you can get, but it is yummy and filling, budget friendly, and FAST. Serve with crusty bread and butter if you have it, or with el cheapo white sandwich bread and butter if you dont. I came up with it to serve my 3 1/2, & 1 1/2 daughters as well as hubby, and in-laws when I wasn't expecting to feed anyone but my girls and hadn't been to the grocery store.
