Ingredients

  • 1 (6 1/4 ounce) box Hamburger Helper mix for beef pasta, use the enclosed seasoning package and noodles
  • 1 lb hamburger
  • 5 1/2 cups water
  • 3 cups fancy cut dry noodles
  • 1/3 cup tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced carrots, un-drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Method

  • Follow the cooking directions on the Hamburger Helper box, using the enclosed seasonings and noodles and adding my list of ingredients (except sour cream); be sure to use the amount of water I've listed and not the amount listed on the box; you can saute the onions with the hamburger if you'd like.
  • Mix in sour cream just before serving.
  • *You could substitute any thin or small noodles you have in the pantry and use corn or other veggies in place of the carrots.
  • *We aren't salt lovers, if you are - double the salt.
