Вопрос: Как приготовить Hamburger Helper?

This is my kind of comfort food. I also like American hamburger goulash (of course whenever you say that, some fool tells you to buy Hamburger Helper). The problem is, I have had what I like at various potlucks but have never been able to duplicate the exact flavor that I like. I am not looking for Hungarian goulash so I use sweet paprika which brings it close to what I want. But something is still not quite right. I think it’s the sauce. I’ve tried tomato soup which is currently my favorite, tomato juice, and V-8 Juice. I’ve also added catsup and once or twice tried a little sugar. I didn’t like those at all. Nothing has been quite right. I am also not looking for anything that resembles spaghetti sauce. I don’t know what I’m missing. Hamburger, paprika, tomato soup, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, and macaroni. There, I vented.

Not adding sour cream and butter to the sauce… these guys missed some very important steps…The sauce is crap without being enhanced by sour cream n butter… Everyone who cooks mac n cheese knows this too. That’s some black peppery asf lookin’ hamburg hodor helper. The sauce is what makes it good, not peppering the sh`t out of the meat, like the dingle berry in the video.

I’m the weird one who likes to put the seasoning in with the meat alone for a min or two as I feel it gives the beef more flavor. I will add the milk, water, and pasta after but I do think it gives more flavor to the meat. Also on a side note I’m surprised this even exists no insult I just thought of something easy to make and wondered if there would be a how to.

i have a faster recipe and tast just as good take a pan boil 2 pounds of macaroni and strain when done sit aside in a sauce pan cut up a block of velveta cheese and add milk stir till thick add hamburger and mix it up its done enjoy ps you can add frozen vegetables to it just cook in seperate sauce pan like brocclia and its really good… if you dont want hamburger you can use ground turkey its just as good non greasy

A Little Help for Hamburger
or «How now, ground cow?»

This doesn’t really have a name since it was totally ad libbed. Let’s just call it Hamburger Whatchmacallit Skillet.

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 medium sweet red onion, finely diced
3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs. Lawry’s seasoned salt
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Brown ground beef in a large deep skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions are translucent. Add potatoes, milk, Lawry’s, Worcestershire, and water, bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender. Remove cover and simmer until liquid is reduced. Add in sour cream and shredded cheese, stirring until combined and cheese is melted. Taste and add salt and black pepper to taste.

It’s not exotic, but it is simple and easy. You might try adding additional ingredients, such as sautéed sliced mushrooms and/or diced bell pepper.

My favorite Hamburger Helper flavor from decades ago was Zesty Italian, but it’s listed as discontinued but for all effective purposes it’s actually been changed into the Italian Sausage Flavor.
Know of a good homemade recipe for Zesty Italian?

ok this is not the 1st video I’ve seen now they add oil before cooking groundbeef?? wondering if this is how it’s done in a certain country.. where I am the ground beef makes it’s own oil/grease.. but it looks delicious

This was honestly amazing! Totally tastes like the original hamburger helper from my childhood! I made some minor changes and it was perfect. I added a half a tsp more of paprika, 1 tsp of allspice, 1 tbsp of vegetable broth powder, didn’t drain the fat from meat and didn’t add any cheese. Also used fresh chopped onions and garlic. Yummy! ��

Ah you kicked it up a notch with those seasonings. If I’m making mine with tuna instead of beef, I like to add some Old Bay and parsley. Then sprinkle a little paprika on top to give it a pretty color, make it look gourmet, why not ����

Hi… I tried this recipe tonight…it was brilliant!! As an American living in the UK I have had to learn to make loads of my favourite foods from scratch. The best part is my family aren’t very keen on most of my childhood favourite foods LOVED this! They want it in the weekly rotation

Looks good! I tend to agree with those who say no to the cheese slices (as we call them here in Canuckland, lol), and yet I understand you are trying to match the flavour of HH as closely as possible. I used to make my version for my kids. HH is just chock-a-block full of additives and sodium. And the flavour? I must ask what flavour? Cooked HH once and was so put off by the chemical taste I said nope, never again.

Wheres the seasonings? Where’s the FLAVOR? Shit probably taste like cardboard and anyone who actually cook they hamburger helper like this you deserve the chair AND WHOOO TF THROWS GREASE IN THE SINK fucking lazy

Now this is what Hamburger Helper pretends to be but never will be: a good rounded rib stickin’ tummy warmer, worthy of whining for seconds, and even thirds, any time. Well done, sir!

I still remember when HH first hit the market, looking at a box and thinking, «Why? I can make this from scratch faster and cheaper than I can get it out of this box, and without the chemicals.» But people sure do buy it.
