Yes, my family does eat Hamburger Helper. It was on clearance and I couldn't pass up the price. Then I started freezer cooking and it sat in our pantry for months. MONTHS! So one day we finally ate it. It was ground beef and shredded potatoes. We ate it, we enjoyed it (it wasn't anything super special but can Hamburger Helper be "special?"), and then I figured I could easily recreate it. So I did. Our verdict: everyone enjoyed this! Chloe was the only one who had a little left on her plate when she was done...but there wasn't much left.
3/4 lb ground turkey
1 small onion, diced
1 bag refrigerated shredded hash brown potatoes
1/2 tbsp oregano
1/2 tbsp italian seasoning
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 clove minced garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 c shredded cheese (mexican blend or cheddar)
In a pan, sautee the onion and ground turkey until cooked through. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Remove from pan and set aside. In the original pan, heat up olive oil and begin to brown the hash brown potatoes. When potatoes are mostly browned and cooked through, return the cooked ground beef to the pan and mix with the potatoes. Season the mixture with oregano, italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Top with shredded cheese, let the cheese heat up so it begins to melt.
