A wonderful one-pan meal that will sweep you off your feet. Cheeseburger Macaroni is made with pasta and seasoned ground beef top with gooey cheese. An explosion of flavour in each bite!
Cheesy pasta is a must! There are varieties of it out there but this here is my forever favourite. A no-fuss is made in only one pan from start to finish.
