The original Hamburger Helper, a boxed pasta dish with seasoning mix, was introduced by Betty Crocker in 1971 as a way to make ground beef stretch further during high food costs.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups beef broth
3 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup sour cream
Salt to taste
Directions
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and softened.
Stir in the beef broth, uncooked elbow macaroni, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, paprika, and black pepper.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Adjust salt to taste.
Once the pasta is cooked, lower the heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, milk, and sour cream until creamy.
Serve hot, indulge in that creamy, savory taste, and let the nostalgia flow!
