Make Steakhouse Cheeseburger Mac
To start making this easy dinner, start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Brown 1 lb of ground beef with chopped onion.
Season the beef and onions with ground mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and some steak seasoning.
Once the beef is browned, drain any extra grease from the meat.
Next, add the minced garlic, Texas Roadhouse Steak sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
I like using Texas Roadhouse Classic Steak Sauce from Amazon, but you can use any classic style steak sauce you have on hand.
Stir everything together well. Add the uncooked pasta and beef broth to the skillet.
Bring the whole skillet to a quick boil then turn the heat down to medium-low.
Cover with a lid and cook for about 10-15 minutes stirring once or twice to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.
Once the pasta is cooked add the shredded cheese and milk.
Stir everything together well and top with dried parsley.

Once the cheese is melted, it’s time to eat! I like serving this with Texas Roadhouse rolls and some green beans to keep with the steakhouse vibes.
It’s also really good with a salad or any of your favorite vegetables as a side.
Store any leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator. Leftovers reheat pretty well for an easy lunch the next day!
