Simple and filling Cheeseburger Pasta Skillet dish is sure to become a favorite family meal! 

Cheeseburger Pasta Skillet - The Foodie Affair

I think one of the best perks being a food blogger is that you are surrounded by creative recipe developers! Mary Ellen from Recipes, Food and Cooking shared a Crock Pot Cheeseburger Casserole last month that I was anxious to try. It’s a simple recipe (aren’t those the best?!), and the cheeseburger title peaked my curiosity, plus I had all the ingredients ready to use!

What I lacked was time! I didn’t plan well in advance to get this assembled and in the slow cooker before heading to work for the day, so instead of postponing my meal plan, I adapted the recipe to be a quick skillet meal!

Like Mary Ellen, I was a little skeptical about adding pickles to the dish, so I served them on the side along with more cheese.  I tested the two options on my husband to see which he would like better. He loved the meal just out of the skillet, but when he added the pickles his reaction was, “oh, yeah! Definitely add the pickles!”

The only thing I did different was to add a bit more water so that the noodles would soak up some of the liquid and cook quickly, and add an extra teaspoon of Dijon mustard.

As you prepare for the holidays and are scrambling for meals, cook this Cheeseburger Pasta Skillet meal instead of grabbing take-out! Your bellies with be doing the happy food dance for sure!

    Hello. Could you help me convert the Oz of the chopped tomatoes to grams please. It is saying 36grams which is less than 10% of the tin… doesn’t seem right as your pic looks so red. First time on your site and I’m so excited for this

    Hi Sandra! I found you via a comment you left on my blog and this caught my eye! I’ve been wanting to try a Cheeseburger pasta ever since I saw one on Pinterest (then it disappeared from my feed and I forgot about it until now). YUM!! Pasta + cheese + cheeseburger? Winning combo for me!!

    Oh, I would not hesitate at all to add the pickles! I make a dill pickle meatloaf that I adore. I was skeptical when hubby told me he wanted meatloaf made like that (he had it before) but I made it for him (oh the sacrifices we make for those we love) and I have never made it again without the pickles! Your casserole looks delicious!

    A Cheeseburger Pasta casserole made all in one skillet is definitely a must make meal. The kids will enjoy it and I’m a fan of cooking all in one pan.
