    I was in my 20's before I found out that what my parents gave us, calling it "goulash," was NOTHING like actual Hungarian goulash. Didn't matter, that stuff was awesome in its own right. Thanks for the tips on the poblano and the sausage additions. I'm absolutely going to make these changes! 😁

    Haha growing up my Grandma (raised in the depression, lived through the WW2 era, where they limited foods) made us "goulash", over the years it went from goulash to poor man's goulash, to lazy man's goulash...
    It was a lb. Of ground chuck, a med onion cooked with the meat, drained then 2 cans of "Franco American" (now Campbell's) canned speghetti... Served with buttered bread.
    We loved it. My kids like it, I've never had a guest child or adult even be willing to try it. Haha...
    My hamburger helper, is a box of shells and cheese, Kraft brand is best, and a pound of ground beef with an onion.
    It's the same thing as what's in the box, but way better.
    Lastly, (sorry it's so long). I thought the bag of shredded cheese was just me... I can taste the grittyness of the anti-caking stuff...
    I love to make Alfredo, but I have to shred the cheese myself cause the powder makes it have an off texture to me.my family swears I'm crazy... I don't even like preshred on tacos. I can taste it, and it don't melt right.

    Southern folks living in Detroit in the mid fifties called this spaghetti. We didn’t know what Italian sausage or pablano peppers were so ground beef and green peppers was our recipe. The only cheese we ever bought “fresh” was sliced American or a can of Kraft grated cheddar cheese (sadly no longer being made). The canned cheese was sprinkled on top of our spaghetti and it was delicious! Some recipes from your childhood can’t be beat.

    Nice! I came up with my own version of this a few months ago. I didn’t use Italian sausage, so I’ll have to try that next time around.

    Something Sam did with this recipe I really like is that he did not go overboard with the cheese. Way too many cooks do that. Cheese is supposed to compliment and add to the other ingredients in a dish, not drown them out and suffocate them.
    Don't get me wrong, I love my cheese, but not to the point that I cant taste anything else. This seems to be just the right amount.

    Hot Italian pork sausage is great for the heat. I found out (accidentally) that I prefer the hot Italian TURKEY sausage made by Shady Brook Farms - less intense heat and nicely flavored. This recipe looks like GREAT comfort food! Love the idea of the poblano! And it's all cooked in one cast iron pan. Can't wait to cook. Btw in this area of country (northeast) we would call this a variation on the classic "American chop suey." W/ that chianti and a crusty bread. Luscious!

    If somebody ends up having to use a mild Italian sausage? I'd probably recommend you swap out the poblano pepper for something with a little kick to it like a few serrano peppers. They have a great flavour and will give that kick the dish would be missing if you used a mild Italian sausage.

    This looks so amazing. You should do a STCG version of Hamburger Helper’s Cheesy Hashbrowns.
    It would set my soul on fire 🔥

    My grandma would cook something she called mooshcansmoosh that was very very similar, we would eat this all the time back in the 70’s and 80’s she was from Denmark and this is what she ate growing up … so I guess there are similar dishes all over the world like this

    "You know what would be good with that?" When you said that, my very first thought was "a cornbread muffin". Gonna try that on my next campout at the end of the month. I'm the camp cook and I think that this is on the menu. THANKS!!!

      This should be pretty darn close:
      1 small white onion, diced
      2 stalks celery, chopped
      1 poblano pepper, diced
      4 cloves garlic, minced
      1 lb ground beef
      1 lb hot Italian sausage
      3 tbs tomato paste
      1 tbs dried basil
      1 tbs dried thyme
      1 14oz can whole peeled tomatoes, hand crushed
      1 cup passata (tomato puree)
      2 tbs HP Steak Sauce
      2 cups chicken broth
      2 cups elbow macaroni
      1 Cup shredded Cheddar

  • @josephland8649

    I make this with a chili packet and a can of Rotel. The cheese is always a must and the Italian sausage sounds like a great idea.

    This looks great! Didn't know what hamburger helper was, we don't have that in the Netherlands 😅 but all the better we can make it from a recipe like this now instead of something from a box 🙈
    I would add the garlic later though, Im not a fan of garlic when it's browned to long. I usually follow the same rules and concept of cooking garlic as chef Jean Pierre here on yt.

    After eating Hamburger Helper one too many times growing up, I swore I'd NEVER eat it again. However, I've learned (again) to NEVER say 'never' because there's times I've been so broke, Hamburger Helper would've been an appreciated upgrade. Anyway...this looks like a delicious way to confront my yuck factor head on and turn a dread into a desire! lol

    • @sidneyvandykeii3169
      @sidneyvandykeii3169 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      When I was a kid there was ONLY two flavors of Hamburger Helper. Beef or Chicken. Thats it. Now there are so many flavors. I am curious how many flavors there were when you were a kid? That said, Hamburger Helper is a good low budget and Quick meal to make when time is lacking. If you sauté the Italian holy trinity of vegetables first before cooking the meat etc... it aquire some nutrition. The Holy trinity of veggies is Carrots, Celery and Onion. Sweat those down a little bit before cooking the meat. Adds massive flavor and gives you a few vitamins. Thise three are very cheap veggies and I would also add them to Cheap Ramen in my early 20s to get some vitamins. It's all I could afford at the time.
