What you make is so far beyond hamburger helper! When I was making my lunches in advance and stocking them up in my freezer, I actually turned to Hamburger Helper once when they had them on sale. I often used the Stroganoff and cheeseburger flavors. I found I was basically making a type of hamburger helper but I would still add other ingredients for more flavor. In the long run, the homemade version was always better and I could get items in bulk and my version would end up cheaper. There were times I would buy the big package of ground beef from Sam's, cook the entire package then divide it up and create five different flavored dishes. The concept of hamburger helper is a good one and really good for people who don't cook much. What you've shown us how quick and easy it is to create your own version of hamburger helper and with a few key ingredients, you actually end up with something much tastier. It's refreshing to see someone like you who can take a few ingredients and make a great meal. Cooking doesn't have to be difficult, you just need to know where to start. And that's where you come in by giving us these tried and true recipes that come from your knowledge and experience (and hungry family) and provides your viewers with more ideas of what to cook when they don't know what they want. They say, most people cook the same five dishes all the time. We often get stuck in a rut with a loss of inspiration in the kitchen. That's why your videos are so helpful because you give us great recipes and new ideas and show us how easy it is to add more variety to our lives. This is also why your videos and cookbooks have grown in popularity. People are learning if they want a quick and easy and great tasting meal, this is the place to come. Thanks for all you do to make our crazy lives a little easier. And thanks for sharing all your great recipes! Now if you just made house calls.... 🤔
I made this when my kids We're young. I added peas And mushrooms and mushroom Can soup. And exta garlic Salt. They loved it. I haven't Thought of this for years. I made a goulash to my My mom Would make. It was Wonderful. Very simple feeding 5 kids and making enough was Trick sometimes. Goulash Only had 6 ingredients. 2 was just salt and pepper. I think I'm going to make some Tonight.
Hamburger Helper ,I had to use 2 boxes for my kids ,I have 2 boys,and when they were growing up,they ate ALOT! They are now 26 and almost 33! I'm going g to make this ,thank you so much!!
Beefy pasta was always a favorite at home. Just add sour cream and parmesan and its kind of like stroganoff or italian seasoning and cheese for lasagna...original base can even go mexican taco flavor by adding taco seasonings and cheese
My favorite Hamburger Helper has always been the Cheesy Hashbrowns. Instead of the ground beef, though, my family prefers using breakfast sausage. I serve it with fried eggs and toast or biscuits.
This meal looks delicious and in addition to that fact , I just love this lady . Thank you so much for this video, I have just subscribed . A sweet warm down earth lovely lady This is the kind of person I want to watch , no pretensions here . an ordinary kitchen , and ordinary person ( Like most of us ) , and simple yet delicious looking home cooked food. My kind of folk, my kind of kitchen, my kind of yummy wholesome family cooking. Precious ! .......Many thanks.
Tank you Christine for showing me how to make that dish I enjoyed watching you Every time you come on I did make the Mexican burrito casserole last night and they all loved it I live in Covina California Again thank you for sharing
Catherine, you are the best when it comes to home cooking! Just want you to know I bought the chopper for my husband (he’s the cook!) and he loves it! I also got him the beef “breaker-upper” and he also loves this - a very happy cook! Have a Happy Easter with your family 🐰🐥. Mandy from Tucson 🌵
This is great. Fast, I'm sure tasty and easy. I'm sure you know the old saying, " Work smarter not harder"! I love this. I will be trying this out. Thank you 😊💓. Warm thoughts I send your way Raquel 🙋🏻♀️🙊🙉🙋🏻♀️🌬💕💕🐇🐇
Thank you so much this is my kind of meal will be doing it for sure, my favorite hamburger helper was steak rice May you would come up with that for us. Happy New Year
30 minutes are delicious. Exactly how I used to make it years ago!!! Can you freeze this if you've made too much ??? I'd love to know this. Thanks Catherine!! 😊
Hello family 💖 great 30min meal.i love the jared stuff,I hvnt tried the beef flavor,but the veggie and chicken are really good and you only need a little bit for broths or just to add in stir fry,or other dishes,to give a lil boost of flavor.many good wishes and God's blessings to you all.hv a very happy easter.🐰🐣🐰🐣🐰💖🐣🐰🐥🌞🐥🌞🐥💗🐰💗💛🐰😇
Happy Easter Catherine. This sure looks delish. As a single guy, I don't know where I would be as a cook without my Vidalia Onion Chopper thing like you have that I bought at BB and B years ago. I never was great at dicing onions or peppers or anything. Take care.
I've never liked hamburger helper, but this looks delicious! 🤤 My son, who's looking over my shoulder, agreed that he's never liked hamburger helper either, but reminded me that he's always loved tuna helper. 🙂
Looks great. Don't think I had a favorite loved the hamburger tune and chicken helper. The homemade helper looks delicious and I love using better than bouillon.
Catherine Catherine I just got back from the store with all my ingredients for the french onion sub sandwiches and the cake you showed us yesterday and now you put another delicious recipe, oh well next time I will make this one, thanks my neighbor, have a wonderful day!!
Yummy delicious meal, love beef live noodles, so good bet that smells delicious and taste amazing , hope your having a wonderful day and great weekend 🐰🐣🙏🌞Happy Easter take care ,yum yum yum
You made my day! My husband is dairy sensitive and this looks easy enough for even him to make 😂. I will add some frozen peas and call it dinner! Thanks Catherine!
This looks delicious! I'll be making this tomorrow as there's a roast in the slow cooker for tonight. Will sub mushrooms for bell pepper and stir in some frozen peas and maybe some sour cream at the end.
It looks wonderful and really easy to do. That's what I have been looking for. I'm new to your channel and I'm having a ball with all your recipes. I'm sending Hubby to the store tomorrow for noodles!!!
Yummy can I cook the noodles and then add ? Thank you Catherine. Have a wonderful Easter weekend and stay safe and healthy. Many Blessing to you and your family. 🐰🐇🙏❤🐰🐇🙏❤🐰🐇🙏
Hey hey, I've got a chopper like that one you got! Very cool! WHAT? Don't like bell pepper in your pasta-get out of here! Gonna make this Sunday. Ya know Mrs. Catherine, I don't have to do much thinking about what I'm gonna make for me & my family anymore, with all of your neato videos it's a snap. So thanks again, and see ya's in the next GROOVY video!!!!!
I love your homemade ‘Hamburger Helper’ which looks a thousand times better! I liked Cheeseburger Macaroni as a kid, and my mom would get it for me occasionally to make for myself…she made homemade, just like you do. I’m also a big fan of Better Than Bouillon, that stuff is the absolute best. It’s pricey at the regular grocery store, but you can get great prices on it at Costco or Amazon, it’s worth every penny. This looks fantastic, and thanks for the idea of ‘sweet peppers’. I saw those in another video of yours, and I don’t care for green bell peppers, but the red, orange and yellow are okay. I’d love to try the sweet peppers! You’ve made me hungry again!!!
I love she's doing everything homemade and not a box..
Thank you for watching.

I smell it from here. Great memories with H.B. Helper. I love noodles too.
Add broccoli and mushrooms...OMG YUMMMM!!!!!
My favorite Hamburger Helper has always been the Cheesy Hashbrowns. Instead of the ground beef, though, my family prefers using breakfast sausage. I serve it with fried eggs and toast or biscuits.
Homemade is si much better. Thanks for sharing.
Ummm my favorite hamburger helper beefy noodles
Would love to see a can of peas or mixed veggies to make it a complete meal. Looks great.
Frozen peas would hold up better.
@@lindaphueston9024 I usually add diced carrots, but peas would work too.
I added grated carrots & in place of milk I added Cream of Mushroom, delicious!

I love this lady. I would probably add some mushrooms and a can of peas and maybe even a swish of sour cream but I’m sure it doesn’t need it
I'm going to try it with mushrooms. I think they will go very well with this dish.
Happy Easter Catherine. This sure looks delish. As a single guy, I don't know where I would be as a cook without my Vidalia Onion Chopper thing like you have that I bought at BB and B years ago. I never was great at dicing onions or peppers or anything. Take care.
Cheese burger was my favorite hamburger helper and still is.
Looks delicious. And I'm hungry. Lol. Going to try this also
Hope you enjoy
Looks Yummy. I’m definitely going to make this.
You are such a Sweet Lady. Glad I found you.
Thanks so much! 😊
I've never liked hamburger helper, but this looks delicious! 🤤
My son, who's looking over my shoulder, agreed that he's never liked hamburger helper either, but reminded me that he's always loved tuna helper. 🙂
I made this tonight for my family SO much tastier than that junk in a box!
Thank you!
Looks great. Don't think I had a favorite loved the hamburger tune and chicken helper. The homemade helper looks delicious and I love using better than bouillon.
This will be the next dish I try! I have made several of your recipes and they are fabulous! ❤️
I appreciate it so much.

You are so welcome!
I have been waiting on this recipe. Thank you Catherine

Hello and yes that look very good

You made my day! My husband is dairy sensitive and this looks easy enough for even him to make 😂. I will add some frozen peas and call it dinner! Thanks Catherine!

It looks wonderful and really easy to do. That's what I have been looking for. I'm new to your channel and I'm having a ball with all your recipes. I'm sending Hubby to the store tomorrow for noodles!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Looks awesome. I haven’t really thought about using cubes vs canned broth. That would save pantry space too.
I think that 'Better Than Boullion' comes in a paste?🤔 And that once you open it you store it in the fridge!?😉
It's Very Good! Thank You.
Oh I'm going to try this one soon, my mind of food for sure!!!
Thanks for the reminder on this delicious looking - I’m going to make it enjoy your videos thank you❤️😀👍👍
