Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups dairy free milk
- 12 ounces dried elbow pasta
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet (or large stock pot or dutch oven) over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and ground beef.
- Sauté the onions and beef, breaking up the meat with the back of a wooden spoon as it browns. This takes about 5 minutes.
- Season with garlic powder, paprika, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine.
- Add the broth, dairy free milk, and uncooked pasta. Give everything a big stir. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Let pasta cook until al dente, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has absorbed, about 8-12 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Add ½ cup extra broth if the noodles are looking too dry. For an ultra-creamy sauce, stir in 1 cup dairy free shredded cheese or ½ cup dairy free sour cream just before serving.
Notes
Store leftover homemade hamburger helper in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of dairy free milk.
