Hamburger Helper (dry mix) image

My son goes through a kick where he wants Hamburger Helper. I have a very hard time buying it. It just doesnt seem right to me. So, I did some research and came up with a blend that comes close to the nasty store bought. You can add any spices to suite your liking. I make up these packages and store them in the cabinet then any...

Number Of Ingredients 12

FOR THE DRY MIX:
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 1/2 c dry noodles of your choice
WHAT TO ADD TO THE DRY MIX:
1 lb ground beef
1 c hot water
2 c milk
1 c shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. The recipe is for one mix so I usually increase all the ingredients to make 4 at a time or however many you want to store. Mix the dry mix ingredients together. I mix it right in a zipper sandwich bag and then add the noodles. Keep these packets in the cabinet for later use.
  • 2. When you are ready to make the Hamburger Helper: Brown one pound of beef and drain. Put it back in the pan and add the hot water and milk. Add your dry mix. Bring to a boil, stirring to blend, and cover and let it simmer for about 12 minutes or until noodles are cooked. Uncover, add your shredded cheese and stir until cheese melts.
  • 3. The ingredients can be tweaked to your liking. More cheese, more garlic,add pepper what ever you desire.
