Dinner | Ground Beef/Turkey | Pasta | Skillet
One Skillet Cheesy Beef and Macaroni
Your whole dinner in one big skillet..so cheesy and and yummy!
I love meals like this. LOVE them. Meat.Cheese.Veggies.Pasta: All in one dish!
Scoop it to serve and you are done.
This meal was unbelievably easy to make. It tasted great, was very filling and it makes a huge amount. You could seriously serve about 10(?) people with it.
We ate it for dinner and then, Mr Plain brought leftovers to lunch for two days.It’s alot! Alot. If you need to serve a big crowd..this is your dish.
Give this one a try and feed your family for a few days. 👍

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Yum! This looks so incredibly delicious. I want some right now…although I should probably have breakfast first. 🙂
Thanks Anita..it's sooo good!
These are totally my kind of meals, too. I used to make Hamburger Helper ALL. THE. TIME. and it was a favorite, for sure. I can only imagine how much better this must be with all the fresh ingredients and actual cheese!
Thanks for linking up to What's Cookin' Wednesday!
Thanks Karly! MUCH better!
Can this be correct? A 2-Oz can crushed tomatoes?
Oops! Thanks for catching..it's 2-28oz cans! It's corrected.
Thank you Shannon! Enjoy 🙂

Could this be frozen? I’m looking for meals to make and freeze to be ready for my pregnant daughter. Baby due in two months.
Hi Lorraine- I haven’t froze this particular dish, so, I can say for certain. But, I don’t think it would be a problem. Congratulations to you and your daughter on the pending arrival 🙂
Made this for dinner tonight. My Picky Nicky husband told me three different times how delicious it was. Score!!! Thanks for sharing.
So happy you both enjoyed it Katharine! Thanks for letting me know.
