Good Morning...
I hope everyone had a great weekend.
It was pretty nice here.
Pasta with Cheese and Tomatoes
(Homemade Hamburger Helper)
(Homemade Hamburger Helper)
Growing up we never had Hamburger Helper, but when I saw this recipe
I knew it would be something my family would like and they did...
I knew it would be something my family would like and they did...
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 can diced tomatoes
tomato sauce, about 1 cup
3 cups uncooked pasta
mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, about 1 cup each
seasonings...I used parsley, basil and garlic
Begin by browning your ground beef and drain the fat.
Then add the can of diced tomatoes and the tomato sauce.
I only used ½ of this amount in the casserole.
I froze the other ½ for a future casserole...
Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
Drain and add to the meat mixture, along with your seasonings.
I used fresh parsley, basil (from my garden) and garlic...
Now add the cheeses...
Add the entire mixture to a baking dish and bake at 350
until bubbly and hot...
Add a side salad and DINNER IS READY...
Enjoy your day!

This sounds amazing like a recipe I used to make all the time when my kids were at home. It was always almost fought over by my boys, and we never had a left over, haha. The only thing I added was a little onion to the browning hamburger. I used whatever cheese I had on hand too. This brought back memories as I haven't made it in years. : )

This looks really good. I used to put tomato sauce and hamburger with the kraft mac and cheese. I loved it, not so sure about my Hubs. Yours looks much better than Kraft.

Morning Lois,
wow, that hb helper meal looks quite good, might just have to give it a try.
Hope you and Olivia have a really fun day shopping. I was thinking about going to HomeGoods today, but it has been raining all morning. Not thrilled about driving or being out in the rain if I don't have to be, so guess it will keep for another day.
blessings, Nellie

I grew up eating this homemade dish. I bet we had it twice a week! And I love it. The only problem is that it doesn't have edges and it's pasta. Those should both send up red flags to me. lol
