The easy one-pan meal will remind you of childhood dinners.

As my kids got older, I wanted to introduce them to this classic meal from my childhood.

Thats how this one-skillet cheesy hamburger pasta came to be one of my familys favorite recipes.

This recipe comes from years of experience with one-pot minimal-ingredient pastas.

Everything cooks in a single skillet and takes less than 20 minutes to cook.

The result is an ultra-creamy pasta balanced with acidic tomatoes and a beefy flavor.

Cook the beef until is browned all the way through, about 4 minutes.

Season the beef with the seasoned salt and saute for about a minute more.
