Homemade Hamburger Helper
"This recipe always gets gobbled up here, our grandkids just love it and request it all the time. It is easy quick and easy to put together, so, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner or lunch. I mix in 1/2 a cup of shredded cheddar cheese just before serving it and I put more in a bowl on the side so everyone can add as much as they want to their serving. This can easily be made gluten-free by using gluten free elbow macaroni noodles. If you have leftovers, add a bit of milk to it before re-heating it as it absorbs all the juices as it sits, so it dries up a bit."
