Gluten Free Hamburger Helper
by: claire cary
This gluten free hamburger helper is a healthier take on your childhood favorite! It's made in just one pot with pantry staple ingredients and is ready to eat in just about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 cups low sodium beef broth
- 1 cup plain unsweetened milk I used almond
- 10 ounces gluten free pasta
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ teaspoon chili powder
- ¾ teaspoon paprika
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Chives and red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large pan or dutch oven over medium heat with the butter.
- Once melted, add in the diced onion.
- Saute for 5-7 minutes.
- Add in the minced garlic and ground beef.
- Cook until mostly cooked through. A little pink is ok because it will continue cooking with the pasta.
- Add in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add in all remaining ingredients aside from the cheese.
- Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is cooked. Stir every couple of minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Stir in the cheese and mix until melted. Garnish with the chives and red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
Notes
I used regular sweet paprika, but you can used smoked for a different flavor profile!
