Homemade Hamburger Helper

Well you could call it goulash but whatever you call it, its good and its pretty good for you.  Especially if you sneak in some veggies.  Which of course I do!  Here's what you need to make a fast and tasty meal that your kids will eat up.

Julie's Homemade Hamburger Helper- Chili Mac

Ingredients:
One box of Mac and Cheese (I use Annie's Organic Mac and Cheese)
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of chili beans
Sneaky vegetables
Ground Beef, about 1 lb

What to do:

Start by cooking the pasta according to package directions minus 1 minute.  When you combine everything later the pasta will finish cooking.
If you haven't pre-cooked and frozen your meat, brown your meat.
Once the pasta and meat are done, combine all ingredients and simmer over Medium low heat for about 5-10 minutes.

There you go!  Easy peasy and delicious meal in about 15 minutes.  You can even top it with shredded cheese if you like.  The kids will never even know that you added those Sneaky Vegetables and they will give it some nice flavor.

Paired with Monterey Jack cheese and Tortilla Chips.
