Homemade Hamburger Helper


Sometimes the most basic meals hold the special memories. For me that meal is Hamburger Helper. It was a trendy and fast way to prepare a delicious meal with nothing more than a pound of ground beef. Let me show you how to take it to the next level with a homemade version that will impress everyone, and bring back those special memories.


Ingredients:

1 lb of Ground Beef

1 Small Yellow Onion, minced

3 Cloves of Garlic, minced

1 Tbsp of Olive Oil

2 Tbsp of Flour

1/2 cup of Tomato Sauce

5 cups of Beef Stock

1 cup of Milk

1lb of Elbow or Shells pasta

8oz of Sharp Cheddar, grated

1 tsp of Italian seasoning

1 tsp of Granulated garlic

1 tsp of Granulated Onion

1 tsp of Paprika

1 tsp of Chili Powder

Pinch of Cayenne Pepper, optional

Salt and Pepper to taste



In a Dutch oven add the oil, preheat over medium heat, then add the beef, break it up as much as you can with a wooden spoon, cook until about 80% cooked through, if it releases too much fat, discard most leaving behind under 2 tbsp.


Add the onions and garlic, season with a touch of salt and pepper, sauté for about 5 minutes then add the flour and stir it in for a full minute.


Add the stock, milk, tomato sauce and seasonings, bring to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes then add the pasta, cook until al dente, adjust the seasoning to taste then stir in the cheese and dig right in!
