Drain the fat. Drain the pasta as well and then add it to the meat mixture.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Stir in the sauce<\/h3>\n<p>Stir in the tomatoes, relish, mustard, ketchup, steak seasoning and seasoned salt.

You can heat this pasta dish in the microwave (add 1 tablespoon of water to your bowl to help loosen up the pasta and sauce), stirring every minute until the pasta and meat is heated through. Or heat it on the stove top!<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze cheeseburger pasta?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! This cheeseburger pasta recipe can actually freeze well after you cook it. Place portions in freezer-safe airtight containers and freeze up to three months. When it\u2019s time to eat, place it in the fridge to defrost for 24 hours before reheating.<\/p>\n<h2>Cheeseburger Pasta Tips<\/h2>\n<h3>Is cheeseburger pasta a one-pot recipe?<\/h3>\n<p>No this cheeseburger pasta isn\u2019t a true one-pot recipe (we cook the pasta in a pot separate from the skillet with the meat). If you want to make it a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/one-pot-meals\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/one-pot-meals\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">one-pot meal<\/a> to save yourself on dishes, cook this meal in a Dutch oven and add some beef broth to your pot when the meat mixture is finished (about 2 cups). Then add in your pasta and let it simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente. Then proceed as usual!<\/p>\n<h3>What is the most common cheese on cheeseburger pasta?<\/h3>\n<p>We use cheddar on this cheeseburger pasta because it is the most common cheese used for a traditional burger. But feel free to get creative with the different cheese you want to use. Make your cheeseburger pasta your own!<\/p>\n<h3>What do you serve with cheeseburger pasta?<\/h3>\n<p>Because this one-pot cheeseburger pasta is a hearty meal in itself, choose a lighter side to go with it to contrast from the heavy and savory meal. A simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-green-salads\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-green-salads\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">leafy green salad<\/a> would do nicely!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I created this cheeseburger pasta recipe to satisfy a craving.
