Molly Yeh's Hamburger Mac & Cheese | Girl Meets Farm | Food Network

This is a combination of Bernie and Ira’s favorite foods: mac and cheese and burgers. It’s beefy, cheesy, comforting, full of protein and made in one pot, so it’s a great alternative to the boxed version, which happened to be Molly’s favorite thing to bring as leftovers for lunch in middle school. #MollyYeh #GirlMeetsFarm #FoodNetwork #Hamburger #MacAndCheese Get the recipe ▶ https://foodtv.com/3Noc3sV Subscribe to Food Network ▶ http://foodtv.com/YouTube Cookbook author, food blogger and Midwest transplant Molly Yeh embraces her country life and makes dishes inspired by her Jewish and Chinese heritage — with a taste of the Midwest, too.

Hamburger Mac and Cheese Recipe courtesy of Molly Yeh Level: Easy Total: 30 min Active: 25 min Yield: 4 to 6 servings Ingredients 6 ounces (226 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese 6 ounces (226 grams) shredded white Cheddar cheese 2 teaspoons cornstarch 2 slices (2 ounces/57 grams) bacon, finely chopped 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon (15 grams) Dijon mustard 12 ounces (340 grams) elbow macaroni One 12-ounce can evaporated milk Toppings Chopped hamburger dill pickles, for garnish Chopped tomato, for garnish Directions Combine the mozzarella and Cheddar in a medium bowl and sprinkle with the cornstarch. Toss well and set aside. In a medium braiser or deep-sided skillet over medium heat, scatter in the bacon. Cook until the bacon has rendered its fat and is mostly crisped, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and cook until the meat is browned and the juices have evaporated, about 4 minutes. Season with the paprika and garlic powder. Stir to combine and toast the spices, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard. Using a slotted spoon, remove the meat mixture to a large bowl. Pour off any excess fat and wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. Spread the macaroni in the pan in an even layer. Add just enough water to cover the pasta. Stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and reduce to a simmer. Simmer, stirring often, until the pasta is al dente and the water has been almost completely absorbed, 4 to 6 minutes depending on the pasta you use. Add the evaporated milk and simmer until it begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Stir in the prepared cheese in handfuls, stirring well, until the macaroni is coated in a smooth creamy sauce. Stir in the beef mixture and remove from the heat. Serve immediately with the toppings of your choice. This is best eaten as soon as it’s made, but leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator for 1 or 2 days. You may need to add a little cream or milk to loosen it up again when you reheat.
