What is Hamburger Helper?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A total comfort food from my childhood, I remember how easy it was to pull out some hamburger meat and make dinner. There was aways leftover hamburger helper in my fridge at home, and boxes of this were pantry staples in my house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional Hamburger Helper is a boxed dinner, complete with white pasta and powdered sauce\u2013both ingredients I don’t recommend if you’re waiting your weight or what you’re eating. If you loved Hamburger Helper as a kid, you’re going to love this recipe\u2013I’ve been told it tastes like the cheeseburger macaroni dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boxed hamburger helper isn’t something I typically eat because of the processed ingredients and white pasta. This homemade recipe is an easy meal that picky eaters will love, but made with minimally processed real ingredients and extra protein. This version of the classic meal will keep you full for longer and because of the whole grains and extra protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
