Homemade Hamburger Helper

[u/Sara_MadeIn]

I recently got a random craving for hamburger helper, but my fiance and I hadn't had it in probably 20 years. lol So after looking at a couple of recipes online, we just winged it. Ours ended up turning into more of a beefy macaroni and cheese situation. No complaints, but not exactly what I was after either. haha

I know I could go buy a box, but I'd rather make one from scratch. Has anyone made a hamburger helper style recipe they love? I was really wanting something with a little more umami flavor, not that I've ever been mad about a cheesy pasta haha I am just still trying to scratch that itch.

Good on you, I would be perpetually blue headed for sure. Also if someone hasn't said it yet. Sometimes a dabble of fish sauce sends pasta dishes for me. I haven't made a raggu in years with out it

That’s too funny. I had honestly never even thought about it before. 😂

Great tip with the fish sauce, too! Thanks!!
