This easy one pot pasta combines the flavours of a melty cheeseburger with creamy pasta, making for the perfect kid-friendly weeknight dinner. It’s a DIY take on the ‘90s classic Hamburger Helper, but made from scratch with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.  You could easily customize this recipe to your taste by adding in chili flakes, taco seasoning or your favourite veggies (spinach works beautifully here!), but it’s hard to beat these classic nostalgic flavours as-is.
