  • Confession: I LOVE Hamburger Helper! Here are a few "dupes" for the stuff in the box, recipes that are similar but just call for some pantry staples and seasonings from your spice cabinet!

    My mom added grated zucchini to everything from cakes to meat dishes . She would grate it then put into a colander and lightly salt and let sit a big to draw out some of the moisture then she would squeeze it in a clean dish towel and then spread onto a sheet pan a flash freeze and then put into freezer bags or containers in 1 & 2 cup portions and it went into everything, we were a family of 6 . Us kids never knew .

    You inspired me to make hamburger soup for my family for supper - something that I haven’t made for years. It’s healthy and delicious!
    My husband always claims that “soup is not a meal” (said in a deep manly voice) but always love the soups I cook. Lol

    My husband is not a fan but my son eats them. His favorite way to eat them is straight out of the freezer!

    Happy New Year Mindy! I haven't done an at home Hamburger Helper in years or even the boxed kind come to think of it. Thanks for the reminder. I love the Christmas plates. It's funny what you learn about your husband after all these years. Funny story about Hamburger Helper. When I was married, we were sitting watching tv, a hamburger helper commercial came on. He saw it and said, I would never ever eat that stuff, it wouldn't taste like yours...well I didn't say anything. The next day after the older 2 went to school, the younger one and I went to the store and got some. We didn't say a word until after he ate 3 plate full. At that point, I said did you like it... he loved it. That is when I said do you know what you ate? He said ya and continued to tell me what he ate. I said nope... you just ate the equivalent of 1 1/2 boxes of hamburger helper. He went into the trash and found the boxes. He never said something like that again, of course I never served it to him again either. I always just made my own.

    My husband and I have been together for over 10 years and he didn’t know that I dislike peas very much. One night when I came home from work late, he made a tuna casserole and used what seemed to be a whole bag of frozen peas. I couldn’t eat it, even with picking out the peas. The taste of peas was overwhelming. He said “I didn’t know you didn’t like peas.” I said “didn’t you ever wonder why we never had peas in the house???” We both started laughing.
