Do you ever have days when you have no time to cook? When it seems dinner sneaks up on you and you have a bunch of hungry kids asking, “When is dinner? What are we having for dinner?” On those nights I have a kitchen secret. I open what my family calls “the pantry o’ plenty” and pull out a box of Hamburger Helper. It’s fast and easy. Seriously, Bryan, who couldn’t boil water when we got married, learned to make this as one of his first dishes. Plus, the kids will never say no to a dish with noodles. It’s the one thing I know they will all agree, although everyone might ask for a different flavor. I even have special add-ins to make a custom hamburger helper recipe; including this one for Saucy Beef and Cheese.
Start by slicing an onion and a green pepper and sauteing them in a small amount of butter, oil or cooking spray. I usually add garlic to the mix too because I am a huge garlic fan. No vampires around for this chick!
I prepare a box of Cheeseburger Hamburger Helper as directed on the package and add the onion, pepper and garlic mixture while it cooks. When the Hamburger Helper is ready, I add a jar of salsa and top with shredded cheese.
I usually serve this with a salad and rolls. I can have dinner on the table in around 30 minutes and can even delegate cooking to the kids if I want. (This rarely works.)
What could make this easy family dinner even better?

I haven’t had Hamburger Helper in years. That meal looks delicious!
Adding salsa is an interesting touch! I would not have thought of that! I bet it is really delicious!
Got my free rebate coupon, woot! I’m excited, meat is not cheap, it’s nice to get money back on it for a change. 🙂
I love Hamburger Helper. Such quick meals for the family on the go.
Although I have been tempted many times to make it, I have never used Hamburger helper. I think it time I tried it.
I have to admit I do love mac and cheese and these sounds like a perfect way to enjoy it – I must give it a whirl.
This looks so good. My family and I love mac and cheese. It is the perfect comfort food and a great meal on a spring or fall day.
That looks really good! My husband loves Hamburger Helper and it’s a great easy meal to make for busy families. I have never thought about adding salsa but I am going to do that next time we have hh. 🙂
This looks good. I haven’t had this in a long time. I bought a box of it recently, but haven’t made it yet.
I didn’t even finish reading the article before I headed over to print the offer. The day just seems to speed by before I’ve even thought of dinner! Hamburger Helper and a great rebate are going to put me ahead of the game.
Goodness me! That looks super tasty. I haven’t had Hamburger Helper in so long, but I remember my kids just loved it so I’ll have to pick some up! This looks so good.
This sounds really good and you can’t beat free ground beef. I will add this to my grocery list.
I used to use Hamburger helper before. I haven’t used it in years.
Love mac and cheese, I stay away from the boxed stuff but it’s always always a plus here when made. Even better with beef, so this looks really great
The cost of beef is so high that I imagine lots of people will take advantage of this offer.
The original beef pasta is the only one my family will eat. But they love it! I’ll definitely sign up fur this rebate, thank you.
Oh my!! That looks very good. I used to make something like this from scratch. But using Hamburger Helper would make it so much easier to prepare.
