Homemade Hamburger Helper
By: www.delightfulcountrycookin.com/
Growing up, my mother always made this fun one-dish meal that we all loved. It never had a true name, and she never used a recipe. She just kind of dumped everything in a skillet and let it cook. When we finally asked her what she called it, she thought for a moment and then said, "I guess it's homemade hamburger helper."
My mom would always put a little Worcestershire sauce into this meal...and then my dad would go into the kitchen and sneak in a bit more...and then my sister...and then me. And, my goodness, I would shake that bottle of Worcestershire sauce as hard as I could - I probably added a good half cup! That was the secret to the absolute deliciousness of this meal. The more Worcestershire sauce, the better! Seriously, it's good. And it takes under half an hour. And only one pan. That's what I call a blue ribbon recipe!
And don't forget the secret - the more Worcestershire sauce, the better!
Ingredients:
1 lb. hamburger
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 T. Worcestershire sauce (and more to taste!)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
14 oz. diced tomatoes
1-2 cups tomato juice
1 cup macaroni, uncooked
Directions:
Brown hamburger, chopped onion, and chopped green pepper.
While browning the hamburger meat mixture, add Worcestershire sauce and seasonings.
Continue cooking the meat mixture until hamburger meat is thoroughly cooked.
Add diced tomatoes and about 1 1/2 cups tomato juice.
Stir.
Add uncooked macaroni, cover.
Cook until macaroni is done, adding more tomato juice to bring mixture to desired consistency.
