Lyndsay, I’ve made this delicious recipe a couple of times, and figured it was time to review it. There’s only two of us, so I cut the recipe to 4 servings, with the exception of the lean ground beef, I use the whole pound. I use the Barilla High Protein pasta, which is delicious and makes me feel a little bit better about a whole plate of pasta for dinner!
Overall, this is so, so easy to make, uses up one pan and tastes wonderful! Keep ‘em coming!

Oh, so good! I used lean ground turkey breast with the beef broth to cut back on points and calories. I felt no need to add the shredded cheddar cheese after I taste-tested it. The 3 tablespoons of cheese dip was the perfect touch…I used Aldi’s cheese dip in a jar. Leftovers were enjoyed today with a bit of broth added to moisten the pasta.

This was really delicious! My only concern is it was a bit dry. I cooked it on my stovetop as I don’t own an Insta-pot but I might just buy one. Love your recipes!

Hi Cyndy,

The mild cheese dip is included with the point values. The point values may vary depending on the brand you use.

Thank you!

If you use the optional mild cheese dip, will that add points to the serving?

I made this for lunch today and it was really good. I made mine with ground turkey instead of beef. I also used some Better Than Bouillon (beef) + water instead of broth. My husband said he would eat it again (but he would prefer beef next time). Next time we would both also prefer a bit more of the cheese dip (I used Tostitos Salsa Con Queso) to add more creaminess / sauciness to it. It was quick and easy to make and was reminiscent of the Hamburger Helper we practically lived on when we first got married over thirty years ago. Thank you for sharing.
