A couple of days ago I was hungry and too tired to go to the store. After scavenging the freezer, fridge and pantry I realized that I could make fake Hamburger Helper and it would be so much better!
Ingredients: 1 box of Mac and Cheese (I went with organic white cheddar from Fresh & Easy), goat cheese*, 1/3 lb of hamburger*, 1 carton of sliced mushrooms, butter, milk, and some Parmesan cheese.
In one pan crumbled and brown the hamburger & mushrooms. Make sure you pour off any fat as you go. Meanwhile boil the pasta in the box according to the package. Reserve some of the pasta water when draining.
Measure out about 1/3 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of goat cheese.
Toss this with the pasta and the powdered cheese packet. Add in a little pasta water if it seems a bit too thick. Add in the browned hamburger and mushrooms. Toss together. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
*Feel free to substitute the cream cheese or ricotta for the goat cheese. This would work just as well with ground chicken, pork or turkey.
