PHILLY CHEESESTEAK HAMBURGER HELPER

Steps:

• Cook the large elbow macaroni according to the directions on the bag and drain (do not rinse).
• Add the ground beef to a large cast iron skillet (this browns very well) and brown until a deep brown crust appears before breaking the beef apart.
• Stir the ground beef and brown until a deep crust appears on about 50 or so percent of the beef.

• Let brown for 1-2 minutes before stirring, then let brown for another 1-2 minutes before stirring again.
• Add the beef back into the pan.

HAMBURGER HELPER (DRY MIX)

Steps:

• 1. The recipe is for one mix so I usually increase all the ingredients to make 4 at a time or however many you want to store. Mix the dry mix ingredients together. I mix it right in a zipper sandwich bag and then add the noodles. Keep these packets in the cabinet for later use.
• 2. When you are ready to make the Hamburger Helper: Brown one pound of beef and drain. Put it back in the pan and add the hot water and milk. Add your dry mix. Bring to a boil, stirring to blend, and cover and let it simmer for about 12 minutes or until noodles are cooked. Uncover, add your shredded cheese and stir until cheese melts.
• 3. The ingredients can be tweaked to your liking. More cheese, more garlic,add pepper what ever you desire.
