Homemade Hamburger Helper

This Homemade Hamburger Helper is just as easy as the store bought stuff but a whole lot healthier! An easy ground beef recipe that both adults and kids love!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound (500g) lean ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• pinch to ½ teaspoon cayenne powder
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1½ cups (355ml) milk
• 1½ cups (355ml) beef broth
• 2 cups (260g) elbow macaroni, uncooked
• 1 (8oz) (227g) can tomato sauce
• 2 cups (225g) shredded cheddar cheese

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground beef, onion, paprika, parsley, garlic powder, cayenne powder, salt and pepper. If using a ground beef with a higher fat content add in the seasonings after draining the grease.
2. Stir in the milk, broth, macaroni and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until pasta is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted.
