Hamburger Helper for dieting—YES U CAN

It makes me want to sing the Hamburger Helper song.

"Hamburger Helper helped her hamburger help her make a great meal!"

Fixed some for the first time this weekend. Double the meat requirement so I could get more meals out of it. Added in the brocoli and it really taste pretty good. Actually did one with chicken also. I have one for tuna I am going to try next week.

Made this last night. Used 2 pounds of 99% lean ground turkey and cauliflower. Used 1 cup water and 2 cups skim milk which is what is called for when using just one pound on ground meat. The spice packet was from cheeseburger HH. Can't say it was awesome but is was a break from chicken breast and fish. Funny thing was I couldn't taste the salt even though the packet was 700 mgs. Seemed like I needed to add salt but didn't. Anyhow will eat it over 3 days so not to get all the sodium at once. Worth a try IMO but as others said neXt time will MADD my own spice mix.

Hey what's up guys.

Thought I'd throw a recipe that I used MULTIPLE times a week on here.
I've always grown up a HUGE Hamburger Helper fan but know that it's not the healthiest of things to eat.
So i made some substitutions....

-1lb ground beef....brown in pan and rinse with HOT water...cuts down fat
-1 box Hamburger Helper....you are only using the seasoning packet (luckily these things are like $2 at the grocery store)
-1 bag broccoli slaw or 1 head of cauliflower....either of these can be used in place of the pasta.


Then combine—what makes HH so high in cals is the pasta and the fat from the ground beef. We are draining the beef and adding slaw or mashed cauliflower.

I'm actually eating "Double Cheeseburger Cauliflower Helper" and it's freakin delicious....about 70+ grams of protein...under 25 grams of carbs...low fat....filling as hell


ENJOY.

and it still looks like a hamburger
