Homemade version of Hamburger Helper® - just as easy and tastes so much better! You will need a large skillet with a tight fitting lid. Ingredients:
1/2 pound lean ground beef, or more to taste |
1/2 small onion, minced |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste |
2 cups water |
2 cups elbow macaroni |
8 ounces reduced-fat processed cheese food (such as velveeta®), cut into small pieces |
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream, or more to taste |
Directions:
1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
2. Return skillet to burner over high heat. Add water; cover skillet and bring to a boil. Stir macaroni into the boiling water-ground beef mixture; cover and lower heat to medium. Cook, keeping covered, for 5 minutes. Stir, cover, and cook until macaroni is tender, about 5 more minutes.
3. Stir processed cheese food into ground beef-macaroni mixture until melted. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream.
