I made my way to Stater Bros in an attempt to look for an instant meal that was filling and fast. As I walked around aimlessly looking for this, I stumbled upon Hamburger Helper. This looked enticing. All it required for me to buy was the box, and one lb of ground beef. Done.
The process was surprisingly simple, although it did require a measuring cup which I didn't have. The first step was to ground the beef and then drain the water out when fully cooked. This was simple. Next was to pour in 2 3/4 cups of milk, and 1/4 cup of hot water. I had to boil our tap water in a pot because we don't have a hot water dispenser. Next, I eyed the milk measurements. I think I poured way too much, but I would see if it would affect my dish in any way. Then I was to pour the sauce mix and uncooked pasta into the entire concoction. Heat to boil.
It took a really long time to boil, just cause I poured so much damn milk. It took like, 6 minutes I'd say? Next was to lower the fire and let simmer for 10 minutes. It kept burning at the bottom, so I made the fire extremely small.
The end result was extremely delicious! The sauce was a little too watery though, probably because of the excess milk. I would definitely make this meal again. It was quick and cheap. The ground beef was about $2.50 and the boxed Hamburger Helper was just 99c (on sale).
The whole cooking process took about..25 minutes. Quick meal!
