Syn Free One Pot Cheeseburger Pasta

Syn Free One Pot Cheeseburger Pasta – the best syn free pasta dish you will make this year PERIOD!!

one pot cheeseburger pasta in a black frying pan

One pot dishes are my favourite thing at the minute, anytime I can create less washing up the better. If you have a family of 4 like me, washing up plates and cutlery is bad enough, but add to that several pots and pans too, and it’s a chore.

Some of the mess is instantly taken away with one pot dishes like this Cheeseburger Pasta and I love it.

So you may be wondering what exactly is cheeseburger pasta, well it’s exactly what it says, all the best part of a cheeseburger turned into a delicious pasta dish that the whole family is just gonna love.

It may not be much of a surprise that we love cheeseburgers in my house. I’ve already brought you these amazing recipes below:

  • Big Mac Fries
  • Big Mac and Fries Fakeaway
  • Cheeseburger Quiche
  • The Ultimate SW Cheeseburger
  • Sweet Potato Cheeseburger Sliders
  • Cheeseburger Soup

That list just wouldn’t seem complete without adding to it a Cheeseburger Pasta recipe.

It’s actually a pasta recipe that’s pretty popular this side of the Atlantic and this is my healthier, delicious take on it.

First, no cheeseburger would be complete without the burger part and for that, I use extra lean beef, we also have to have some onion and good seasoning, plus the ultimate ingredients – Worcestershire Sauce.

Usually a Cheeseburger has ketchup, but we want this slightly healthier, so instead, I use fresh chopped tomatoes (I recommend fresh as they just taste so much better to canned which tend to be slightly acidic) and then some tomato paste.

To get that little bit of sweetness, I add a little bit of sukrin gold (you can use any sweetener of choice if you don’t have this, or omit altogether if you prefer).

Pasta is usually cooked in a large saucepan of boiling hot water, but as this is one-pot Cheeseburger Pasta, we are adding the pasta straight into the pan with the beef and for flavour, I add chicken stock, rather than water.

Once left to simmer for 10 minutes till the pasta is al dente, the last important ingredients go in.

PICKLES!!

you just can’t have a Cheeseburger without some pickles (gherkins), don’t be put off adding them to this dish, they really do give it an amazing flavour.

Of course if you really do hate them, by all means, leave them out, but personally, those pickles are so darn good in this. 

and finally Cheddar (make sure you save a little bit, just to sprinkle on top to serve). The cheddar once added does something magical. One it starts to melt, along with the starch from the pasta in the same pan, it coats everything in a velvety kind of creamy sauce that is just delicious.

Serve with a side salad of crisp lettuce leaves. Hey, you could even make some of the big mac sauce for the salad from this Big Mac Fries recipe.

How can I add a 1/3 speed foods to this Cheeseburger Pasta?

I pair this up with a mixed salad, just a big bowl of whatever salad items I have in the fridge and serve it up in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves to. 

Baby greens, spinach, crisp lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, radishes, shredded carrots, beetroot, onion, peppers, whatever you have is perfect for a salad.

and if you really don’t fancy anything else with this, that is perfectly find to. Ideally we should add a 1/3 speeds where possible to our meals, but it isn’t compulsory, just make sure you balance out the rest of your meals instead.

    So we are eating this tonight but with a toddler and a newborn I tend to premake everything. My husband tasted it once it was finished and said it was the best meal he had ever tried!

    Beautiful recipe- wonder what the toddler will think of it!

  11. Shevy (Slimming Eats)

    Hi Dianne, it will be fine without the onion powder – enjoy!!

    Making this for the first time today after reading all the lovely comments on it. Just wondered what pickles does everyone use? I know someone mentioned gherkins, is that right please? Love all your recipes.

  44. Shevy (Slimming Eats)

    June 14, 2018 at 12:34 pm

    yes pickles are the same as gherkins, enjoy!!

  45. Sam

    August 29, 2018 at 7:22 am

    I love this dish so much. It’s my go-to comfort food!
    Has anyone tried making it with quorn? I have vegetarian friends and I’m looking for an easy one pot meal for a crowd.

  46. krissi

    October 8, 2018 at 1:19 pm

    hey, 960mls of chicken stick seems a lot as one oxo cube only makes 190mls, is 960mls correct?

  47. Shevy (Slimming Eats)

    October 8, 2018 at 2:23 pm

    Yes the measurements are correct. I use a low sodium broth, or my own homemade stock. So you can use less stock cubes if that’s what you are using, but the amount of liquid needs to be as stated.

  48. Lisa

    October 17, 2018 at 6:16 am

    Love this receipt. Now a firm fav for the family. Quick, satisfying midweek dinner.
    Changed the chicken stock for beef stock as I don’t like chicken stock.
    Delicious. Thank you.

  50. Shevy (Slimming Eats)

  51. Nicole

    January 13, 2019 at 7:19 am

    Amazing!!! Cannot believe how nice this is!! Can I leave leftovers in the fridge if so for how long??

  52. Shevy (Slimming Eats)

    January 14, 2019 at 10:13 am

    yes about 3 days in the fridge is fine.

  57. Polly

    March 2, 2019 at 7:01 am

    Can this be done in a slow cooker? Trying to use mine a bit more!! If so how long would you leave it on for?

  58. Shevy (Slimming Eats)

    March 2, 2019 at 8:49 pm

    Hi Polly I am not sure, I haven’t tested it in a slow cooker, so could not give timings etc.

  59. Eleri

    March 10, 2019 at 9:24 am

    This tastes delicious but I wonder if I put in too much liquid? I added the 960mls, but later noticed the recipe also says 4 cups. A UK cup measures 200ml, which would be 800mls. Which one is correct, as my sauce was very thin? Thanks. Love your recipes!

  60. Shevy (Slimming Eats)

    March 10, 2019 at 10:12 am

    no 960ml is correct – it’s US cups, which is 240ml. Sounds like you didn’t have it bubbling quite enough to reduce down. Did you use the fresh tomatoes? Once you add the cheese in at the end, it melts and coats everything in a lovely glossy sauce.

  61. Jayne

    March 15, 2019 at 6:01 pm

    Made this for my very fussy family, didn’t tell them it was a slimming recipe because even saying that word they wouldn’t of ate. My family loved it. I made a larger batch and my husband took leftovers the following day, he even commented that it was even tastier. Definitely a keeper this recipe.

    Hi, I can’t eat tomatoes, would it be ok to leave them out of this dish?
    Thankyou

  67. Shevy (Slimming Eats)

    May 4, 2019 at 7:29 pm

    yes you can, but the sauce may not be quite the same. Just something to bear in mind 🙂

  68. Andy

    May 21, 2019 at 9:12 am

    Hi, could this be done with tinned tomatoes rather than cutting up tomatoes? Or would that add too much liquid?

  69. Shevy (Slimming Eats)

    May 22, 2019 at 10:24 am

    yes, you can, just make sure you fully drain any excess liquid or it may water it down too much. The taste is best with fresh tomatoes as they have a natural sweetness whereas canned are acidic.

    Hi shevy,
    Just curious but do you have to add the sweetener? What would that be in place of in a regular recipe?

    no, you don’t have to, you can omit if you prefer. I use a naturally derived sweetener, not artificial and it’s just a small amount against the acidity of the tomatoes etc

    Hello. Thank you for your recipe 🙂 Haven’t tasted it yet but it smells delicious. Just wanted to add a quick note to say the 12 minutes have gone by and there’s still heaps of water and the pasta is still hard. Are we supposed boil for 12 minutes not simmer? By the time this is done it’ll be 15 minutes easily maybe 20

    you reduce heat, so it is not on full, but it should be bubbling to reduce down, otherwise, the pasta and meat will just sit in hot water and not create a sauce. Hope that helps 🙂

    Thank you for a fabulous recipe! We Had this tonight for dinner. I used Quorn mince (which breaks down more than regular mince) and small pasta shells (perfect for scooping up!)
    Always worried that it won’t look / taste as good as everyone says…..I am a total piglet when it comes to pasta and feel really full after 1 portion (a rarity for me) and my husband had 2 portions!
    Will 100% be making this again – might add Mushrooms

    Can I use beef stock instead of chicken

    I use chicken because it’s not quite as rich as a beef stock which can tend to overpower some dishes. So the choice is up to you. Personally I would stick to chicken.

    It’s a hit in this household. My 7 year old has only eaten chicken and chips and pizza for ages. This recipe is just perfect. I don’t think it touched the sides. Thank you

    Hi I just made this and put in a tin of chopped tomatoes and adjusted the stock.
    I also put in chopped red pepper and mushrooms as I don’t like pickles, it was amazing thanks so much and so easy!!
    Your recipes are so lovely thank you ☺️
