Cheeseburger Macaroni
Cheeseburger Macaroni
This was a staple dinner for many families when I was growing up, easy to put together, can use ground beef or pork. I have posted similar recipes. I made this on 15 Nov 2016, took one photo as shown, and this is delicious! On my #1 Go-To List.
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef, OR minced pork
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 cup beef stock, fresh or from powder
- 2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups dry macaroni, or any bite site pasta
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the paprika, corn starch, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a large non-stick skillet, brown the ground beef, garlic, and onion until the meat is no longer pink. Drain the fat.
- Add milk, broth, and pasta to the beef. Stir in cornstarch and spices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 9-12 minutes or until pasta is tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheese, mix until melted, serve.
Notes
Ground beef would cost about 150 Baht/500 grams, minced pork runs about 60 Baht/500 grams. The cheese would be about 140 Baht as not a full block would be needed. For 4 servings using beef, this is about $2.13 per serving, using pork, this is about $1.48, a bit more reasonable and would be a good meal with friends and family, once in a while.

I made this on 15 Nov 2016, and it is delicious! When my wife tried it, an instant 2 thumbs up from her, and she is Thai. I used ground pork instead of beef, everything else followed, spot on as written. When cooking and it is getting dried out, just add milk about 1/2 cup at a time, which is what I had to do based on the pasta I used, maccheroni. Recommended and even though high cost, on my #1 Go-To list.
