I made this tonight because hubby was missing the box stuff. I had no idea what the ingredients were in the original, so I winged it!
Hubby liked it, thats all that matters to me!
Dreamfields Beef Noodle Hamburger Helper
1 lb. ground round
salt and pepper to taste
Brown burger in 10 inch deep sided skillet, drain off excess fat if any.
Add to meat in skillet:
2 c. beef broth (or 3 bouillion cubes and 2c. water, nuke till dissolved)
1 1/2 c. Dreamfields elbow macaroni (uncooked)
pinch each of garlic powder, celery salt, parsley
1 t. dried minced onion
Bring to boil, then reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook 10 minutes
or until macaroni is done.
Mix together:
1/2 c. cold water and 1t. cornstarch
add to skillet and stir quickly to blend in, cook uncovered till heated thru
and thickened to desired consistency. Serve.
I know the cornstarch is a no-no but I have not been willing to buy those expensive low carb thickening products. I suppose adding a bit of heavy cream instead of the water and cornstarch would do as well, but hubby likes the clear gel type sauce. I am not sure of the carb count, but this could easily serve 4 so it should be low. I served it with a salad and green beans. Carb Smart Ice cream bar for dessert, easy night for me in the kitchen!
