Homemade Hamburger Helper

• 1 lb ground meat (I use turkey)
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 jar your favorite tomato sauce (Prego garlic and onion)
• pasta - your choice (I like Campanelle)
• cheese

Brown the meat, drain the fat, push to the sides of skillet. Brown the onion in the middle. Then combine meat and onion, add the wet ingredients, add some pasta and simmer until done. Top with grated cheese. I love tons of locatelli. (11/04/2005)

I like this:

• 1# ground beef
• I can peas
• 2 packets brown gravy mix, or 2 cups brown gravy made
• 2-3 handfuls of egg noodles
• salt and pepper

Season ground beef and cook until done. Add the cooked noodles and the gravy mix, or premade gravy and the can of drained peas. Cook through and enjoy. (10/03/2006)

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 gone great with the mushroom gravy, but I didn't have any. I'll be trying this next time I make it. (10/13/2006)

If you are trying to feed a big family, I'd suggest getting some TVP, which is a soy based meat alternative that is very cheap. There are even brown flavored ones that look like beef. Use it plus your meat and you have and the expensive meat goes a lot further. https://www.usaemergencysupply.com/food_storage/texturized_vegetable_protein.htm (07/21/2008)

I received this from Campbell' Kitchen today.

Cheeseburger Pasta from Campbell's Kitchen

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's condensed cheddar cheese soup
• 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's condensed tomato soup
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 cups uncooked medium shell-shaped pasta

Cook the beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until well browned, stirring often to separate meat. Pour off any fat. Stir the soups, water, and pasta in the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender, stirring often.

Serving Suggestion: Serve with carrot and celery sticks with ranch dressing for dipping. For dessert serve store-bought brownies topped with vanilla ice cream.
