Cheeseburger Mac ‘N’ Cheese Bake
Prep: 15 Minutes - Cook: 45 Minutes - Easy - Serves 4-6
Proudly supported by

With all the flavours of a cheeseburger combined into a delicious bake, you'll make this time and time again!

Ingredients

350g macaroni

500g lean beef mince

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tablespoon dried onion flakes

¼ cup Worcestershire sauce

½ cup tomato sauce

2 ½ cups grated Tasty cheese

1/3 cup finely chopped dill pickles (about 2 pickles)

BECHAMEL

50g butter, chopped

¼ cup plain flour

3 cups milk

¼ cup mild American mustard

Method

  1. Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water until tender. Drain. Return to pan.

  2. Meanwhile, heat an oiled, large, non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add beef, garlic and onion flakes. Cook, stirring to break up mince, for about 7 minutes, or until browned. Stir in sauces. Remove from heat.

  3. To make béchamel, melt butter in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add flour, stirring for 1 minute. Whisk in milk and mustard until smooth. Bring to boil, whisking until thickened.

  4. Add to pasta with 1½ cups of the cheese. Season with salt and ground white pepper. Stir well. 

  5. Spread half the pasta mixture over base of a lightly oiled, ovenproof dish (12-cup capacity). Top with beef mixture. Scatter over pickles. Spoon over remaining pasta mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

  6. Cook uncovered, in a hot oven (200C), for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Stand for 5 minutes before serving. 

     

    TIP! Macaroni can be replaced with penne, spiral or shell pasta for a change. Bechamel sauce can be made up to one day ahead. Keep, covered, in the fridge. Gently reheat over a low heat, or microwave until warm.
