One Pot Homemade Hamburger Helper

Yummy! Cooked Mac for 13. It was a bit too long. Adjust next time. Made 6 servings. Used about 2.5 c cheese... cause heck that's a lot of cheese. :) Note: Aldis Mac takes less time to cook and did not need the full amount of liquid. Test next time.

Waaay better than a box recipe! I changed the recipe a bit and didn’t use precise measurements but still so good.

Made half recipe, made 2 smallish servings. Only changes: cut back on the mustard, added a dash of Worcestershire sauce, pinch of smoked paprika, no salt. Tasted a lot like I remember Hamburger Helper tasting.

Very easy. Boyfriend said it was about the same as hamburger helper. So nothing too fantastic

After reading the reviews, I made some changes - I doubled up on the spices, added paprika. I did not add any salt as the beef broth had enough salt in it. Since my beef broth was a paste, I used the pasta water to dilute it. The full amount of water just enough, so the liquid was apparent and absorbed into the cooked pasta. I also used about 3 tablespoons of queso, mixed in with some marble cheddar. Added some green onions, and one clove of garlic. I cooked the pasta El Dante before adding it to the beef mixture. Turned out perfect. Was super tasty and my husband was a thumbs up!

Can confirm — hamburger helper but better. Just don't use sharp cheddar like I did (that was dumb)

All you can taste is mustard

Weighed out 1 oz ketchup and 3/8 oz of Dijon on scale to avoid “mustardy” complaint. Used traditional measuring spoons for dry spices. Subbed 1/2 tsp paprika and a 1/8 tsp cayenne for the hot sauce. Also subbed egg noodles for elbows. At the end of the pasta cook time, added approximately 2 scant tsp corn starch to thicken leftover liquid (water only).

This tastes like broth and mustard so it's a no for me. Overpowering.

It was good. I omitted the hot sauce and added 1/4 tsp paprika. I thought the sauce was going to be runny but it tightened up off the heat. Kids loved it!!!

This turned out very well. Had great flavor and will definitely make this again.

Did not use hot sauce. Added leftover nacho cheese instead of shredded. Came out delicious!

a little saucy, next time I will add 2.25 cup of pasta. my toddler loved it!

I'm going to make this again. It was easy and fast but I used beef stock and it made it very salty

This was amazing. Honestly will make again!

Used cream cheese instead of sour cream,Add broccoli just at the last 2 minutes for added nutrition. I hate hamburger helper, but loved this.

Instead of cheese use Vegan cheese sauce

I added fresh garlic and shallots while I cooked the beef. I also added a little worchestershire sauce to the meat. Also added a little italian seasoning. I did not have dijon mustard and added ground mustard. Delish!

Made it as written except for the mustard because we don’t have any.

One of our favorites for a quick dinner
