Step 1

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. Add 1 cup onion and beef; cook until the beef is browned, stirring frequently to crumble, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 cups water, salt, garlic powder, pasta, and tomato sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until the pasta is tender, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the milk and mustard. Gradually add the cheese, stirring until it melts. Remove the pan from the heat; stir in ½ cup tomatoes and ¼ cup pickles. Top the pasta mixture with the lettuce, remaining ½ cup tomatoes, and remaining ¼ cup each onion and pickles.
