My family has enjoyed several of the versions here. I was wondering if anyone has tried to do the same thing with chicken helper? I would love to know how to make that as well since chicken is often still cheaper for me to purchase than beef and it would add some more variety to our meals. These are great!

I posted this on my blog's Facebook page to direct my friends to this post; I hope you don't mind. A lot of my friends don't like to buy the box because of the ingredients so I find this might help them and me of course! Thank you again! Thank you so much for sharing!

Unfortunately this new job came with a $400 paycut for the first 90 days, so money has been tight. At this time we can only afford hamburger for meat. I needed some dinners to mix up the menu. You can eat so many spaghettis dishes, and tacos, and hamburgers. My family loves Hamburger helper and right now it is not on sale and I really have never like the fact that I really did not know what was in it. Quite scary. I came across this recipe and gave it a shot. I WILL NEVER BY THE BOX JUNK AGAIN!!!! It was just as easy and I keep all these ingredients in the house at all times. I don't even like hamburger helper myself and I went and got seconds. I doubled the recipe and I have enough left over for 2 lunches. One for me and one for the hubby. I cannot wait to try the others and see what happens. Thanks for helping with the grocery budget. I figured out the cost. And it is about half price than what I would pay at the store for this. :snoopy: Recently my hubby to started a new job.

I keep coming back and hoping... We've tried several of the hamburger versions and love them. I would love some of the tuna helpers too.

I love them. I have already encouraged friends and a few coworkers to use them too. :) Its cheaper than buying Hamburger Helper from a box and it tastes so much better (not to mention I get to skip my husband complaints of too much salt).

I cannot wait to try these out! Last night, I put some of these "kits" together with the spice mix, pasta and can of diced tomatoes , each in their own cute little brown paper bag. My husband LOVES the idea of looking in the cabinet and being able to pick out a meal. He also feels very loved (probably because I drew hearts on the bags!) I would be extremely interested in any updates on this blog like new flavors that have been created/discovered. Cheesy Enchilada is also my favorite and that is because of the mysterious white(BUT DELICIOUS) topping. What is it? Also, if you have any other ideas for "meal kits" that I can make outside of the HH realm, I would be very appreciative! Found you on google and I can tell that you rock! -Katie OH WOW, Thank you!

I HATE buying the unhealthy box stuff. Question regarding the Potato Stroganoff - when do you add the sour cream? When you add the milk/water or at the end like most traditional stroganoff recipes? Can't wait to try some of your versions! :) Thank you so much for this!! I HATE buying the unhealthy box stuff.

Thank you so much! I, too worry about all the preservatives that go into the boxed stuff. I found this to be very similar to the flavor of the boxed mix. My family would not have known the difference had I not told them. Thanks again!!!! I just tried the Cheeseburger Mac today. Thank you so much!
