Dairy Free Hamburger Helper
This dairy free hamburger helper is the perfect, easy weeknight meal. It's incredibly creamy, delicious and made in one pan.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef, 90/10
- 1 yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
- ½ tsp mustard powder
- 2-3 tbsp tomato paste
- 12 oz gluten free dried elbow pasta
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 cup dairy free cheddar cheese, sub with raw cheddar if you can have dairy
Instructions
- Cook the beef, onions, and garlic. Heat a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, onions, minced garlic, and ground beef. Cook the beef, breaking up with the back of a spoon until it is browned all the way through. Stir in seasonings and tomato paste until fully combined.
- Boil the pasta. Stir in the broth, milk, and pasta. Bring the skillet to boiling and then reduce to a low simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring often.
- Add cheese. Turn off the heat and add in dairy free cheddar. Stir until cheese is fully combined.
- Serve and enjoy! Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme and fresh cracked pepper.
Notes
- This dairy free hamburger helper is best served hot, garnished with cracked black pepper and fresh parsley or thyme.
- I always choose grass-fed beef. For this recipe I used 90/10, if you use 80/20 you may need to remove some of the grease before seasoning and adding tomato paste. If you don't like beef you can use ground turkey.
- For added protein you can use beef bone broth in place of the beef broth.
- Add in whatever veggies you have on hand! Sometimes I like to add in kale or broccoli to get my greens in.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
