Growing up we never had "Hamburger Helper". In fact, I still have never had it, so I don't even know what it tastes like, but I think it is something like this.
My mom use to make this all the time, and this is her recipe all free of our allergens and full of added veggies.
We do not do a lot of noodles now days, but on the rare occasion we do, this is the kind we like:
Mom's Casserole - Gluten and Dairy Free Hamburger Helper
~1 lb. of ground beef
salt, pepper, garlic
small can of mushrooms (or fresh, if have)
green, yellow, red bell peppers, chopped
diced onions, if desired
2 cans of stewed tomatoes (chop the tomatoes up)*
2 cans of tomato sauce
1-2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 cups dry macaroni noodles, cooked
Brown the ground beef and add the spices and veggies and cook till veggies are softened. Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce. Add Worcestershire sauce and simmer a few mins. Add cooked noodles and bake at 350* for 10-20 mins.
*If you make this during the summer time, feel free to chop up all the millions of tomatoes you have coming out of your garden and use in place of the stewed tomatoes.
**Because GF products are expensive, I like to cook 1 C of GF noodles for the gluten free kids, and 2 C of regular noodles for everyone else. Just split the sauce between them.
