Was anyone else raised eating Hamburger Helper? That was a certain staple around our house growing up and even in my home in the earlier years of our marriage. It’s yummy, easy, and unfortunately completely processed. Once we took our journey towards clean eating, that meant no more Hamburger Helper for us! I’ve tried a couple homemade versions, and they’ve luckily been really delicious!
This recipe doesn’t at all claim to be like Hamburger Helper, but it really reminded me of it, and I wasn’t sad about it. At all. It was actually FAR more flavorful and delicious, and a BIG WIN for our family! The Six Sisters always come through with family-friendly, yummy recipes.
They call this a soup, but it was much thicker and heartier than what I typically refer to as a soup. My husband and I ate it out of a bowl, but I actually served it to my boys on plates, and it worked out just fine!
It calls for macaroni noodles (I recommend always using 100% whole wheat pasta when you can!), but I used the whole wheat shells I had on hand, and of course, it was a perfect substitution. VIEW POST
