Cheesy Sloppy Cheeseburger Pasta

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet with the diced onion until no longer pink. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3. Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and beef broth. Simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and mix until well combined.
5. Stir in the cheddar and mozzarella (if using) until melted and creamy.
6. Serve hot, garnished with pickles or green onions for a true cheeseburger finish.

Variations

• Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
• Add diced bell peppers or mushrooms for extra veggies.
• Swap cheddar for pepper jack to add a spicy twist.
• Mix in a handful of crispy bacon for deeper savory flavor.

Tips

• Add a splash of pickle juice for authentic cheeseburger tang.
• For extra crunch, top with crispy fried onions just before serving.
• If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in a splash of broth or milk.
• Cook pasta just to al dente so it holds up perfectly in the creamy sauce.
