Homemade Hamburger Helper steps

Homemade hamburger helper brown your meat

First brown your meat (or if it’s leftovers heat them up).  While this is going on cook whatever pasta you are going to use.

While the pasta is cooking add in the thick sauce ingredient.  I usually add somewhere between 1/2 to 1 cup of this ingredient.

Once the pasta is done, drain it, and add it to the meat mixture.  At this point add in the spices to add more flavor to the recipe.

Finally add in the thinner sauce ingredient.  This will thin out the sauce and let you stir it a bit better.

As an added bonus you can add in parmesan cheese or feta cheese.
