Ground Beef & Pasta Skillet

Do yourself a favor and make this dish! This is a great way to sneak veggies into your family (my adamant non-veggie eating wife and 3 year old both loved it). Real stars of this are the mushrooms and Worcestershire, don’t skip either!

Oh man! You’re talking about getting kids to eat their vegetables… I’m getting my fiancé to eat his veggies! He has absolutely no idea there are mushrooms in this.
Delicious recipe. Like a more flavorful, fancy hamburger helper. Absolutely making this again.

LOVE this one-pan recipe! I have made this several times and this is how I make it my own: 1) 1/2 ground beef and ground turkey. I pre-brown and freeze my ground meat for convenience 2) Very finely chopped carrots (i.e. food processor) instead of/in addition to mushrooms. 3) Substituted low sodium beef stock for water. Since my ground meat is strained and I'm not using mushrooms I increase liquid to 1 1/2 cup and may add more during cooking if it seems dry. 3) Substituted 1Tbl Montreal Steak Seasoning for Italian Seasoning/Garlic/Salt. Really gave it a good flavor. I serve with broccoli (finely chop, microwave with about 1 Tbl water loosely covered for 2-4 minutes), and my family mixes it in. Great weeknight meal with easy clean-up.

This recipe was okay. I am only giving it 3 stars because it was just okay. Me and my younger two kids didn't care for the wheat pasta (we used barilla). I will try it again but with my own tweaks. My 4 and 8 year old didn't like it. My husband enjoyed it and so did my 12 year old. I really think it was the wheat pasta. I usually use Barilla Veggie pasta noodles in all of my pasta dishes. I think next time I will use that instead of wheat and I will swap out the Sharp Cheddar Cheese for Mozzarella or Fresh Grated Parm cheese. Overall I made the dish exactly as written the only minor tweak was that I omitted mushrooms. We are not fans of it. But I think if you put your own tweaks you can definitely spruce it up a bit

Loved this. Added two cans of diced tomatoes in place of the tomato sauce + 1/2 cup of dry white wine. Yummy!

Added red and green peppers along with the onion and mushrooms and threw everything in the food processor to chop it up real good. It hides all the veggies and adds some great flavor. The whole family loves it!

I’ve made this recipe a handful of times and it’s always amazing !!! It was something new and different besides the traditional meat sauce I usually make, very tasty and does not take long to make!

My family loved this one! They've named it my upgraded hamburger casserole cause Ive made a recipe somewhat the same but this one is a lot more flavorful and easier to make!

I love this it reminds me of my favorite hamburger helper except more healthy. I hate mushrooms so I leave those out and my husband and very picky children all love it

Delicious, healthy, and easy. Used organic ingredients and whole grain pasta. Added tomatoes from our garden. Kids loved it!

As I suspected he would, my husband loved this! I did add some fresh green bell peppers when I added the pasta. We're looking forward to the leftovers tonight!

Never made anything like this before but it came out pretty good. Had ground turkey and garlic onion spaghetti sauce so subbed that and don’t eat mushrooms so left that out. Me likey. Very filling and great leftovers...

I tried to spice this up a bit but it was still pretty bland
