Make it weekly recipe!

This recipe is so good and so easy! It's made with ingredients I always have on hand in 1 pot in less than 30 minutes. My family would eat this once/week if I made it that often. Lots of flavor and super easy. I actually make mine without the cheese since that's how they like it and it's still very, very good.

Two thumbs up with the entire family!

We always have Garlic Garlic and Mama Mia Marinara Mix on hand so we decided to give this a try last night adapting the recipe to use our electric pressure cooker (the IP). Oh.my.goodness. SO GOOD! I started by browning the beef with the Garlic Garlic using the Saute feature of our pressure cooker. Then, added the tomato sauce, water, milk, and Mama Mia. Gave it a quick stir and then set the pressure cooker to Manual for 8 minutes. Once it finished we added the cheese and served. The flavors were delicious and the process was super simple. I highly recommend giving this recipe a try. It will please the whole family!

Hamburger Helper on Steroids!

Family loved it! Even my picky eater. I read the other reviews and used the 28 oz can of tomato sauce. It was delicious. I went back to store and made 2 more batches for freezer meals.

This was a hit!

I made this last night because I needed something to make with ground beef and I had all of the ingredients handy! My 9 year old ate 3 helpings!!! He said it was awesome! Now I did substitute mozzarella for the cheddar cheese because it sounded better and I used way more than 1/2 a cup! I also made garlic parmesan pepsi/beer bread to go with it.

Easy and delicious!

The whole family loved this one. I doubled up on the tomato sauce, since we like a saucier pasta. We will make this again soon!

Quick and SIMPLE!

Everyone LOVED it ..... I did alter, however ! I know that my husband needs saucy pasta ... So I doubled the tomato sauce and used a 28oz can! It was AMAZING ! They said, " make again!" I had a cooking day yesterday ... So while I had everything dirty ... I fried the meat, and seasoned and added the sauce .... Let that sit overnight .... So all I had to do today was add it to the skillet and add the rest of the ingredients ... Done in 20 minutes while I put together a salad

TS the Best Hamburger Helper!

This was very quick to make, less than 30 minutes. I only added a little cheese at the end. So this can definitely be made with different variations. Very Tasty and was a hit with the Family. Made a large skillet, even sent some home with my Mom.
