C'mon, admit it! At some time in your life, you have eaten "Hamburger Helper." I know that it was a staple in our house when I was a kid. The little talking glove is comforting in a twisted kind of way. :o) Anyway, this recipe looks like Hamburger Helper, but tastes much better. Sure there are recipes out there that are probably better for you or tastier but when you are trying to eat quickly AND on a budget, this recipe is a MUST.

I'm giving this a 3 because I thought it was a 1, my husband wouldn't eat it and the three kids at the table thought it was a 5. I have concluded that it is a probsably a great kid's meal.

    I used cream of mushroom soup instead of potato, doubled the amount of Worcestershire sauce, cut the milk to 1 cup and omitted the corn and peas (didn't have any on hand). Overall, it was a quick and delicious meal that I will make again. It's a recipe that allows for a lot of variation. Thanks Just Married

    Well, I asked for good, quick, kid friendly dishes, and I got one. This was enjoyed by myself and all of my kids, which makes it a 5 star in my book, for I have some picky eaters. It was easy to make, and tasted great! I added the liquid that the recipe said, but I let it sit in the skillet for a few minutes after it cooked, and it thickened up just fine for me. This has been added to my "I will make frequently file". Thanks, Kari, for recommending this!
