Homemade Cheeseburger Macaroni Hamburger Helper image

We like Hamburger Helper but we don't like the MSG or other icky ingredients! You can prepare "sauce packets" ahead of time to save time. Increase/alter seasonings and/or cheese to suit your tastes!

Ingredients

1 lb 92% lean ground beef (or your preferred type)
1 cup hot water
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded, plus more for topping, if desired)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

Brown ground beef in a large skillet. Drain.
Add hot water, milk, pasta and "sauce packet" ingredients.
Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer 12 minutes or until pasta is tender.
In the last few minutes of cook time, add cheese, stir and re-cover.
When pasta is tender and cheese is melted, remove heat and uncover.
Let stand about 5 minutes. Sauce will thicken as it stands.
Top with additional cheese if you like.
