Submitted by weebles
This 15-minute ground beef and macaroni skillet gets its velvety richness from a clever swirl of mayo-style dressing stirred into spaghetti sauce, then crowned with melted cheddar.

15 minSome nights you need dinner on the table before anyone has a chance to ask “what’s for dinner?" again. This one-skillet creamy beef and macaroni pulls that off in just 15 minutes flat.
Browned ground beef gets tossed with spaghetti sauce and a sneaky half-cup of mayo-style dressing that melts into a lush, tangy sauce coating every elbow noodle. A blanket of cheddar on top seals the deal.
It’s the kind of weeknight shortcut that tastes like you tried way harder than you did.
Kitchen Tips
- Use hot cooked macaroni so the dish stays warm through assembly and the cheese melts faster on top.
- Swap in Italian sausage for the ground beef when you want a little more kick.
- Stir in a handful of frozen peas right at the end for color and a pop of sweetness.
