Healthier Comfort Foods - Hamburger Helper Remade

I think we all have had those days where you do not want to cook, nothing looks good and its easy to say to yourself "why not make a box meal tonight?" They are tasty, easy and the downside? Not really healthy for us. My family is on a goal to eliminate most boxed and processed food. My first re-creation is homemade hamburger helped, cheeseburger macaroni. I am dubbing this Cheeseburger Mac from Scratch!!!

Cheeseburger Mac from Scratch

Ingredients
ground beef, 1 lb. I use 93% lean
seasonings, I use garlic and onion
Worcestershire sauce
3 cups pasta
1/3 cup colby cheese
 1/3 cup cheddar
2 slices cheese
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups milk


Gather all ingredients. 


Brown ground beef and add seasonings and Worcestershire. Drain when fully browned. 



Measure out 3 cups pasta. You can use any kind.  


Measure out milk and water. 



Add pasta, milk, water and all shredded cheese to pot. 


Bring to a boil. Cover and turn to low. 



See low!!


Mix once or twice while cooking. Set timer for 15 minutes. 



After cooked add the two slices of cheese. Mix.



Let set 5 minutes and eat!!! It was really good. A little runny but set up perfectly after the standing time. 


Enjoy!!!!!
