Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 1 cup milk
– 2 cups elbow macaroni
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Homemade Hamburger Helper:

1. Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5 minutes.
2. Add Onions and Garlic: Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
3. Pour in Broth and Milk: Add the beef broth and milk to the skillet. Stir to combine.
4. Add Pasta: Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the elbow macaroni. Stir well to ensure the pasta is submerged.
5. Season the Mixture: Sprinkle in the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together.
6. Cook Pasta: Lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.
7. Add Cheese: Once the pasta is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dish and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch.
10. Serve: Dish out your Homemade Hamburger Helper while it’s hot and enjoy!
