Title: Homemade Hamburger Helper
Categories: Pork, Beef, Dairy, Cheese, Pasta
Yield: 4 Servings
1/4 c Oil
1 lg Yellow onion; diced 1/2"
Salt & black pepper
3 cl Garlic; minced
5 sl Uncooked smoked bacon; fine
- chopped
1 lb Ground beef
1 c Dry white wine
3 c Chicken stock or water
3/4 c Heavy cream
1/4 c Hot sauce; up to 1/3 c
2 ts Hot smoked paprika
1 Bay leaf
8 oz Elbow pasta
5 sl American cheese; in small
- pieces
1 1/2 c Cheddar; grated
1/2 c Chives; fine chopped
Heat a large (12") saute pan or Dutch oven overmedium-low heat,
and add oil and onion; season lightly with salt and pepper. (The
hot sauce added in Step 6 will add a lot of flavor, so be careful
not to overseason here.) Let cook until the onions turn light beige
in color and begin to caramelize, 20 to 25 minutes.
Add garlic, and cook until fragrant and starting to brown ever so
slightly, about 2 minutes.
Increase heat to medium-high and add bacon and ground beef, using
the back of a large spoon to break up the meat into smaller pieces.
Continue to cook until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the
meat starts to sear and develop a crust on the bottom of the pan,
12 to 15 minutes.
Remove pan from the heat and carefully drain off most of the fat,
leaving a little in the pan to keep the meat moist.
Return pan to the medium-high heat and add white wine, allowing it
to reduce until the mixture is almost dry, about 10 minutes.
Add the chicken stock, heavy cream, hot sauce, paprika, and bay
leaf to the pan. Mix until combined and bring to a boil over
medium-high.
Once the mixture is boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente,
stirring often, about 9 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in both types of cheese, stirring
until completely melted and sauce is thickened.
Remove the pan from heat, stir in chives and season to taste with
salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
