    Regular at our house, kids love it. After making a few times I played with it just a little; instead of water use stock or add beef base, several grinds of black pepper and 1t of oregano. Really kicks it up a notch.

    Homemade Cheeseburger Macaroni Hamburger Helper, We like Hamburger Helper but we don’t like the MSG or other icky ingredients! You can prepare sauce packets ahead of time to save time Increase/alter seasonings and/or cheese to suit your tastes!, Regular at our house, kids love it After making a few times I played with it just a little; instead of water use stock or add beef base, several grinds of black pepper and 1t of oregano Really kicks it up a notch , This recipe is on regular dinner rotation in our house, but I found it rather bland as-is The cooking method, however, and proportions of meat/milk/water/pasta are perfect, which is why it definitely deserves 4 stars as a great starting point Here’s how my garlic-loving Italian family of 7 likes this: – After browning the meat, drain and add 1/2 a diced onion and a clove of minced garlic Cook down for a few minutes, then add the rest of the ingredients per the recipe – Before boiling, add a squirt of yellow mustard and a few dashes of cayenne pepper sauce (we like Franks) This seemed to give the dish the zing of acidity it was missing -At the end of cooking, I usually add a bit more salt, mustard, hot sauce and black pepper to taste And as any good Italian, a few extra shakes of garlic powder OH, and more cheese Always more cheese!
