My family loves cheeseburger pasta and this recipe is so simple to make, it takes no time at all. This one is definitely a keeper.

LOVED it! Quick and easy. I took the advice of other reviewers and used only half of the mustard the recipe called for. Everything else was followed to the T. My daughter thought it tasted like a McDonalds cheeseburger, and, after she mentioned it, it kinda did! Served with slices of french bread and it was yummy! A keeper!

The kids loved this. I found it a bit odd, but tasty nonetheless.

I liked it but I wasn't sure if my husband would. As it turned out he loved it!

It was very good but I think next time I will add some worcestershire sauce to the meat.

Was good and my 10 month old loved it, but I added additional cheese, ketchup and relish to suit my tastes. I also didn't use whole wheat pasta. Was super easy to make though and would be great for a busy weeknight. I only used two pots!

Everyone should have the makings for this recipe in their pantry. It is wonderful. The pickle relish makes all the difference in the world.

I really liked this. Used sweet pickle relish but would cut down the mustard next time.
