I use ground turkey in place of beef simply because we don’t eat much red meat.
And best of all it’s just as quick as the boxed version. This homemade Hamburger Helper uses real ingredients: macaroni, meat, milk, water, cheese, and spices, THAT’S IT! It tastes fresh, comforting, cheesy, meaty, and filling, just like it should. I’m not normally an ingredient snob but why the long list of ingredients, dyes, msg, and weird stuff just to make a pot of macaroni, beef, and cheese? I ended up throwing it away and making a pot of homemade hamburger helper. Well, one day when I was making his favorite kind, Cheeseburger Macaroni I decided to look at the ingredients, and what the heck! It was easy to make, made him happy and that little glove is adorable. Kids LOVE Hamburger Helper! We ended up getting a box one day when we were out of town and he loved it. I thought I was done with boxed Hamburger Helper and then I had my son. It was a quick, cheap, wholesome, weekday meal that my mother made often on PTA nights or whenever we were really pressed for time/money. I grew up with a meal very similar to Cheeseburger Macaroni Hamburger Helper but it was homemade and called cheesy beef and macaroni.
It was part of my husband’s bachelor meal rotation which consisted of 3 meals Hamburger Helper, spaghetti with Ragu sauce, and Clusters cereal. I wasn’t introduced to Hamburger Helper until I got married.
