Answer 2

This is cheaper than buying a box of Hamburger Helper... and far less sodium! But you can add a can of drained corn and/or black beans to it to stretch it and add protein and fiber.

Answer 3

The cheeseburger helper with ketchup! Yummy!

(Also, try frying up some ground beef and mixing it with Kraft Mac and Cheese.. I think it tastes a little better than the Helper)

Answer 4

Scrumptious Salisbury Steak in Mushroom Gravy

INGREDIENTS
1 pound ground beef
1 egg
3 tablespoons crushed buttery round cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 (4 ounce) cans sliced mushrooms with juice
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
3 cubes beef bouillon
DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg, cracker crumbs, onion, salt, pepper and poultry seasoning using your hands. Shape into 6 patties about 1 inch thick.
Fry the patties in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until browned. Drain off grease, and remove patties to a platter; keep warm.
Melt the butter in the same skillet, and add the mushrooms. cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over, and mix in until blended. Stir in the milk and beef bouillon. Cook and stir over medium heat until smooth and starting to thicken. Return the patties to the gravy and cook over low heat, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Answer 5

to just regular hamburger helper i sometimes add some extra noodles (egg noodles are my fav) a can of stewed tomatoes (chop them up a bit) small can of tomato paste or sauce, pinch of garlic, oregano or italian herbs, and some cheddar cheese. pour them into a casserole dish, top with a little extra cheese (more cheddar or a little mozzarella) and bake till the cheese melts. taste a little like lasagna :)

Answer 6

Tuna fish drained and mixed into the tuna helper is pretty good!

Answer 7

i prefer tuna helper instead of hamburger helper. along with the tuna, i put some peas and a can of diced spicy tomatoes... it's delicious...

Answer 8

I like to make dinner a real one pot meal by adding some sort of canned, frozen or fresh veggie to the mixes.
the italian type ones are good with diced zuchini.
Canned peas and carrots, peas and corn are all good to add to any of them.

Answer 9

French onion dip mix

Answer 10

i like the cheeseburger flavor. instead of using hamburger i use sausage and right before it is done i add a little extra shredded cheese .it gives it a little different flavor when you use sausage.
