This One-Pot Macaroni Cheeseburger Soup is cozy comfort food in a bowl think juicy cheeseburger meets creamy mac and cheese. Everything cooks in one pot (even the pasta), so cleanup is easy and dinner is on the table fast. No Velveeta here, just real cheddar, a rich broth, and simple pantry ingredients you probably already have.
