Holy crap this is delicious! I made it exactly how the recipe states. Laura knows what she’s doing, you DO NOT have to tweak things.

Her recipes never fail. I've tried other recipes but I always go back to her. Just made her homemade Hamburger helper tonight and was so amazing. She lists the ingredients, the time and love. This hamburger helper was to die for. I also follow her Christmas cookies which my kids (13 and 19) sware by. Thank you Laura. She has amazing recipes to go (married to a police officer) and they have all helped. Quick ready to go is my game. Honestly, he is on call and could't wait to have him taste it!

Made this for dinner tonight and it was an absolute home run! Thanks, Laura!

This is seriously fantastic! So much flavour in such a simple, easy dish. Exactly what you want in a one pot meal! Will absolutely make this again, thanks Laura!

Sometimes, nothing is as amazing as comfort food. I love that this is simple and quick.

Girl Laura you the chef’s favorite chef period. ❤️

You're so amazing Laura!! I love that you're making some familiar nostalgic recipes. So excited to see what else you've got up your sleeve for fall and the holiday season

This is going to be tonight’s dinner. Thank you so much, Laura. You are the best!

Making this one again tonight. You can't go wrong with Laura, you just can't. We make her Christmas cookies EVERY year and they are amazing.

I never liked Hamburger Helper, but do appreciate a meal I can put together quickly when I don't have a lot of time. This will work for me, thank you Laura

I have never heard of hamburger helpers. Once I watched this, I realised this is my mom’s version of ‘not Italian’ pasta! Her’s has minced chicken or lamb or beef, some heavy cream, seasonings n the same macaroni pasta! 😍 It’s the same !! From 🇮🇳

Just made this… outstanding Laura. I really missed Hamburger Helper from my time in the US, now I can make it at home anytime. Thank you!!

that looks soooooo good!!

In our regular rotation, have made this so many time ❤

Def gonna make this!

Now this I have got to try!! I made the prime rib you made a long time ago with the garlic cloves and thyme and Dijon mustard….whaaat?!!! Yaaassss, hooontie! It was wonderful! Thank you for this channel. Love your recipes!!!

So good and easy family was impressed.❤😋

@Laura, I have to make this and put a twist on it! Thanks for sharing!

I made this tonight for the first time, It's a fantastic and simple recipe, and budget friendly!! My husband said it tasted more like a taco-mac to him than the traditional flavors of hamburger helper😅 we both absolutely love it!!! It definitely earned a spot on my routine weekly meal plan menu! Thank you soooo much for sharing Laura💕😋

Love your videos! Airways a great time watching you

Just wanted to drop in and say how much of a hit this has been. I make it for my kids weekly. Have served it to friends and family who now make it for their friends and family regularly. It’s delicious.

Following you for years, my first recipes where from here, amazing

Made for lunch today. Tasted great. TFS

Yummy! Looks so good. Reminds me of meals my grandmother and my mother would make while I was growing up. They never bought a box of hamburger helper, It was alway homemade and delicious. Served with a salad.

I made this, and it's delicious!

Thank you for sharing! It looks great!

Thanks for the recipe hugs ❤

My mouth is watering! 🤤 🤤🤤

Yes i make my own as well

Didn't know what to cook tonight now I'm making this!

The thing about hamburger helper that I havent been able to replicate, is it has a specific flavor. I've tried different spices and recipes and haven't been able to figure it out. I'll try yours and 🤞! Cheeseburger Mac hamburger helper is a guilty pleasure of mine lol.

Another great recipe; thanks Laura!!

Looks delish! 😋

I’m gonna try this. Never had hamburger helper but this looks so good!

Finally subscribed! Thanks for the video, Laura - looks delish, and I will try this soon. I've been seeing your vids for over a decade, and seriously girl: I dunno if it's the steam from the cooking pots or great genes, but any time you want to start aging, it's okay with me, lollllll!!!

Thanks for the recipe.

Mouth watering 😢😢

Is the recipe posted yet? I'm not having any luck finding it! Looks delicious!
