Homemade Hamburger Helper Recipe

Homemade hamburger helper 🙌🏼🍝

This is one of those recipes that just leaves you feeling all warm and cozy, it’s like a hug for your insides ☺️

I grew up loving hamburger helper, you know those box kits that had no business being that delicious 😂

Here’s the full recipe:

Ingredients:
1 - 1 1/2 pound of ground beef
1 large onion, diced
About 5 or 6 mushrooms diced (1 cup)
You could also chop up some red peppers or other veg that you like and have on hand. :)
2 tablespoons of mince garlic
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp ketchup
Salt and pepper to taste
About 4 cups of dried noodles
3 1/2 cups of chicken/ vegetable, broth or water (you just want enough to make sure everything’s pretty much covered)
1/2 cup of Greek yogurt or sour cream
Top with shredded cheese and hot sauce (optional)

Start by heating a large pan on medium heat, begin by browning your ground beef until there’s no more pink spots, if you have much grease, drain that and return the meat to the pan.

Next add your onions, mushrooms, minced garlic and stir and let simmer for 2 minutes. Add in your spices, Dijon and ketchup and stir until mixed in.

Next add your broth and then your dried pasta. Stir until the pasta is evenly mixed in and everything is covered by broth. Cover and simmer now for 12 minutes or until your noodles are cooked, stirring occasionally.

Remove the lit and let simmer for another 2-4 minutes or until the extra water has evaporated. Remove from heat and add in your sour cream or Greek yogurt. Serve hot and top with shredded cheese and a little hot sauce! Enjoy! :)
