The stroganoff hamburger helper btw idk if anyone else has done this?? As kids we cooked the pasta, fried it like chips.. Put butter with the hamburger, cooked it with a tomato or a can of crushed tomatoes.. added the seasoning packet and milk ..cooked it down and used it as dip 😂😂😂 you can put pico and guac on top or eat it as is.. Weird yes! 😳But was soooo fun and sooo good 😂😂😂

When my sister and I were kids, Hamburger Helper was a super special treat! My Dad really didn’t like it so every time he went out of town for work, our Mom would make us things like Hamburger Helper and Macaroni and Cheese. It was even more fun because we were allowed to eat in front of the television on TV trays! I honestly think my Mom was grateful and relieved sometimes for the absence of our usual, traditional family dinner! 🌻😊💕

Great ideas. I don't eat meat or dairy, so the soup sounds like I could adapt it pretty easy. Canellini beans instead of pepperoni, add a bag of frozen onion and pepper mix, canned mushrooms and frozen spinach. Instead of the sour cream, I could add a vegan version or blend some of the beans to add creaminess. Thanks for the idea! I make the au gratin potatoes from Aldi with canned diced ham from Walmart for my husband on a busy night. I usually add a green veggie to make a one pot meal.

My sons are adults now and they still request Hamburger Helper for dinner. We buy every kind and also the store brands. I also add ingredients or make my own from scratch. Hamburger Helper is probably the most requested meal at our house. I have to admit that I’m not really a fan of Hamburger Helper myself but it’s so easy and convenient to make a meal out of it. I love your videos. I get such great ideas.

I have used the Rice A Roni box mixes for years in the same way you use Hamburger Helper. As I cook the Rice A Roni I always cook a pot of plain white rice to add and extend the dish, plus I always find the box mix too salty, seasoned, etc. I add protein or beans or both at the end, spinach or broccoli or mushrooms or peas or corn, plus some of the white rice and extra seasoning if needed and mix well. My whole family and my kids loved it.

I've been doing the same for years with Vigo yellow rice. Some beans, tomatoes, corn and it's an inexpensive one pot meal. Some added Tex-Mex fixings: cheese, sour cream, avocado, salsa... and dinner is done. Chicken tenders in the oven, or even a can of chicken or some rotisserie chicken directly into the one pot is an easy added protein when time and budget allow. We rarely buy seasoned rice on its own anymore, as we've all become comfortable with seasoning our own plain rice, but we still keep them on-hand for a quick dinner in a pinch.
@yvonnepalmquist8676
@yvonnepalmquist8676 10 месяцев назад
I've been buying the GV version, and any form of a hydrated potato box for years and making one pot meals with them. I've always done this with side pastas and rice (I just usually have to do it with two boxes for my adult family.). Very easy and convenient. Your added protein and vegetable and done. I've even had success with Dollar Tree, too; the last time I did one I was lucky enough to find a rare twin box of au gratin potatoes and made a chicken and potato casserole with it from a handful of rotisserie meat. Very budget friendly.

Hamburger Helper when I was a kid was an elite meal, lol. My mom made it all the time and while I do make from scratch similar dishes now, my daughter always loves when mom comes home with the Helper as it is a favorite for her too. But they are also usually SO cost efficient too. I know i frequent Meijer and Kroger and both often have them on a buy five save $1 per box or even $1 a box at times so, super inexpensive and great in a pinch. And really, the fact you can use any protein with them is great as well. Will definitely be trying these out soon!
@SeeMindyMom
@SeeMindyMom 10 месяцев назад
I agree on the price point, especially when you can find them on sale! I used to clip coupons regularly and could get them four around .75 a box! If I hit a sale just rate I can get them for a $1 a box, but usually at least as low as $1.25.

I love this idea. The soup especially looks good. I also loved your idea to use these meals as travel meals. I recently did a longer road trip and while I'm not super proud of this, at one point I did make beans and rice in my slow cooker on the bathroom vanity of a motel. To be fair, the vanity was outside of the bathroom. Anyway--it was just a box of rice mix and a can of chili beans and water. And it cooked in the slow cooker in about 2 hours.

These are a little pricier, but for other vegetarians, a package of RightRice plus some frozen veggies makes a good quick meal too. I like the creamy Parmesan risotto version and some frozen spring veggies. It’s made from lentil and chickpea flours too, so it has added protein. It feeds my husband, myself, and my young son. If you have a can of navy or cannellini beans, that will also stretch it!

I use two boxes of the Kraft Mac& Cheese to make a very large portion of chili Mac. I touch it up with Rotel, Mexican seasonings, ground sausage( has more flavor than beef), onion, garlic, etc. If you have any ends of creamy cheese( velveeta or Gouda), throw that in too. This makes enough to serve around 10 to 12 large portions. I also add in Mexican blend cheese if I have it. Serve with a salad and Ranch dressing and some crusty bread…dinner is done. If I have time I make a box yellow cake, poke it with holes while just a little warm and pour sweetened condensed milk over it and let cake soak it up in holes. Then top with crushed pineapple, then cool whip and top with some lightly browned shredded coconut. I do this early or night before so cake can set up. Now you have enough for dinner, leftovers and dessert for couple of days. We love the hamburger helper in the beef stroganoff…though my son can eat the whole box as one meal ! So, I have started making mine from scratch. Not that hard and to me does taste better…but if I am out of everything needed to make it can not go wrong with a $1.28 box of HH.

My family doesn't like hot tuna so we substitute canned chicken in the Tuna helper or a leftover chicken chopped up. Cheeseburger Macaroni is the all time favorite here would love to see a different recipe using that. Great video time to check my pantry for a box of Hamburger Helper that I can make into a soup.

I am that mom I guess that never cooks boxed meals. Only Mac n cheese on occasion. Never really thought about that! That gets me thinking, what if you did a frugal dinner plan using zero processed food? Fun!

Net ides Mindy! I use to love the cheseburger one but over the years they changed the flavor. we still eat it rom time to time. we maily eat the strgonaoff one. I use italian meatblls sometimes in it instead of hamburger meat. and yes I have to add extra pasta as they have shrunk that too. thanks for your helpful videos!

My favorite will always be the cheeseburger macaroni (topping it with a few pickles or some relish is nice), but the stroganoff is a good second.

This is really helpful because we live in an RV and cabinet space is crazy limited so I don't really have a lot of room to have a bunch of pantry staples on hand so making Hamburger Helper style meals from scratch isn't really an option for me. I've never thought about adding ham to the potato HH. My son prefers ham or chicken over beef so this is definitely going on the rotation 🙂

@@SeeMindyMom the same goes for spices. I tend to keep a few blends on hand but just don't have room for dozens of spice containers. You could do a few videos for us with limited pantry space!

The crunchy taco and the cheeseburger hamburger helper are my families favorites. For the crunchy taco i add black beans and rotel then top with shredded cheese. For the cheeseburger i add onion and rotel then top with diced pickles.
