There are even brown flavored ones that look like beef. Use it + your meat and you have and the expensive meat goes a lot further!https://www.usaemergencysupply.com/ ... age/texturized_vegetable_protein.htm Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Hamburger Helper Post By Maryalice (Guest Post) (01/10/2008) Thanlk you to the guest who posted the recipe with the nonfat dry milk, cornstarch, etc. I had this one a long time ago and could not find it anywhere. It truly is a great recipe if you don't want to buy the packaged hamburg helper. t Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Hamburger Helper Post By Hungry Hank (Guest Post) (10/13/2006) Nice site. I checked this out earlier, since I decided to make my own batch. I used the following which was available... "Hankburger Helper 1 lb of ground hamburger 12 oz. of bowtie noodles 1 can (10-11 oz.) of mushroom gravy 1 Step Skillet Mac seasoning" Just cook the first three like your normally would, mix 'em up and add the seasoning (3 tablespoons if you like to measure everything). I'm not sure if this seasoning is still being made, but I bought a bunch at a discount store I frequent. It's a blend of garlic, onion, red pepper and italian seasoning A few quick notes... 16 oz. pasta would've probably been a better choice, but I like a lot of meat. Also, a can of peas probably would've went great with the mushroom gravy, but I didn't have any. I'll be trying this next time I make it.

Mix all of them together in large skillet and add cooked elbow macaroni...then I like to throw some mozzarella on top, and I also like to put on cajun seasoning, but that is entirely optional to taste.

Start with boxed macaroni & cheese (I use generic that i can get for 3-4 for a dollar) follow pkg directions, add some cooked chopmeat and depending on what flavor you want, add either some tomatoe sauce or brown gravy. My kids love it. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Hamburger Helper Post by Caryn (2) | (04/22/2004) Contact I have an old family recipe: Its' called "Peanuts" One lb. of chop meat.
