A comforting, one-pan gluten-free hamburger helper made with hearty beef, savory spices, and creamy almond milk. This family-friendly meal balances rich flavor and wholesome texture, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Ground Beef
1 pound
(80/20 or 90/10 lean to fat ratio works well.)
Salt
½ teaspoon
(Adjust to taste.)
Onion Powder
½ teaspoon
(Provides foundational onion flavor.)
Garlic Powder
½ teaspoon
(Adds aromatic garlic notes.)
Beef Broth
1 cup
(Use a good quality, low-sodium broth.)
Water
1 ¼ cups
(Ensures proper pasta cooking.)
Almond Milk
¾ cup
(Unsweetened, plain. Oat or soy milk are alternatives.)
Gluten-Free Pasta
1.5 cups
(Use short shapes like penne or elbows that hold sauce well.)
Coconut Aminos
1 tablespoon
(Adds umami depth. Ensure gluten-free label check.)
Grated Parmesan Cheese
¼ cup
(Optional garnish. Ensure vegetarian if needed.)

Instructions

Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking apart with a spoon.
Stir in salt, onion powder, and garlic powder to fully combine with the meat.
Pour in beef broth and water, bringing mixture to a simmer.
Add gluten-free pasta and ½ cup almond milk. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes until pasta is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Stir in remaining almond milk and coconut aminos. Cook uncovered for 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens to desired consistency.
Garnish with Parmesan cheese (optional) and serve warm.

Notes

For best results, use pasta specifically labeled gluten-free and suitable for boiling.
Coconut aminos provide a soy-free gluten-free umami boost. Substitute with nutritional yeast if preferred.
This one-pan recipe requires minimal cleanup. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
