Skillet hamburger mac is a main course that has been a favorite of mine for twenty years.  It’s got hamburger and macaroni, so what’s not to like?  This dish is perfect for a weeknight supper because it is ready to serve your family in only 45 minutes.

Start by browning the meat in a skillet, then saute the onion and garlic.  Now comes the best part: just dump in the remaining ingredients and give it a stir.  Cover the skillet with a lid, bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.  Stir it occasionally while you are grating the Parmesan cheese, and chopping the fresh parsley for your garnish.  Serve this warm with a thick slice of our oatmeal molasses bloomer.

Instructions

1. In a skillet, cook the hamburger.  Drain the fat off the meat by placing a bowl under the colander.  Pour the fat out of the pan into a small bowl and place in the fridge to harden.  Discard the fat later.
2. While the hamburger is cooking, chop the onion and mince the garlic.  Saute the onion and garlic in olive oil until the onion is soft and the garlic is fragrant.
3. Add the hamburger back to the skillet and all the other ingredients.  Stir, cover, and bring to a boil.  Simmer with the lid on for 15 minutes.
4. Serve warm with a sprinkle of cheese and minced fresh parsley.
