March 30, 2020 by Anna 3 Comments

This homemade Hamburger Helper is a one-pot casserole made with ground meat, macaroni and cheese. It’s healthier than the boxed version and quick and easy to make!

Serve this pasta with Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread and a simple salad for a great dinner your whole family will love.

Easy pasta dinners you can make in one skillet are the best for busy, hectic or stressful days. This homemade Hamburger Helper is my version of the popular boxed pasta meal. I haven’t bought one in years, because making it from scratch is so much better. You only need a few ingredients that most likely are already in your pantry. I hope you love it!

Easy pasta dishes are my go-to to make in the Instant Pot. I make my Instant Pot Spaghetti or the Instant Pot Baked Ziti on a weekly basis.

Forget the plain mac and cheese. This Instant Pot Chili Mac is packed with ground meat, beans and tomatoes. It’s saucy, cheesy and flavorful. You can easily adapt it to your likings. It only takes one pot and 5 minutes of cooking under pressure to make this macaroni which makes it perfect for busy weeknights and lunch made ahead of time and served through the week. It’s 100% kid-approved but you can always increase the amount of spices to make it even hotter.
