Frequently asked questions
How do I store leftovers to keep them fresh?
Let the dish cool completely before storing. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to bring back that gooey texture. For longer storage, freeze in single portions—great for quick lunches.
What if my sauce turns out grainy or clumpy?
That usually happens if the milk is added too fast or the heat is too high. Next time, whisk slowly over low heat and use room temperature milk. Also, grate your own cheese—pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that mess with the melt.
Can I make this a healthier meal?
Absolutely. Use lean ground turkey instead of beef, swap out regular pasta for whole wheat or chickpea pasta, and reduce cheese by half. For extra nutrition, toss in spinach, zucchini, or peas. These tweaks still give you an easy cheesy hamburger meal without the guilt.
