Cheeseburger Pasta Skillet is an easy meal that will be on the table before you know it. This recipe is made with simple ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen right now.

Cheeseburger pasta skillet is one of those comfort meals that you can make any day/night of the week. This dish only has a few simple steps before you are able to set it on the table for your family. It should be ready in no more than 30 minutes.

I love making skillet meals like this one. As I mentioned they are super simple to make and they are so tasty. There will never be any complaints about what is being served for dinner when the cheeseburger skillet is on the menu for the evening.

Helpful Tips:

  • Use hamburger that is thawed, never start with frozen hamburger
  • Add the onions to the hamburger in the skillet and cook together.
  • Drain any extra grease after the hamburger is browned.
  • Do not overcook the pasta before adding it to the skillet. The pasta will continue to cook a bit once it is added to the skillet.
  • I use pickle relish in this dish, if you don’t have any you can use pickle juice or chopped pickles. If you are using the pickle juice use about a tablespoon.
  • Once the recipe is complete, taste to see if you need to add any salt or pepper.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

Steps for making Cheeseburger Pasta Skillet

    This is so right up my alley! Not only do I love that there is both ketchup and mustard as a traditional cheeseburger would have, but I think the pickle juice made me do the happy dance! Can’t wait to try this!
