As a mom, I absolutely ADORE one pot (or skillet) meals! They are convenient and super easy to clean up.
As a child, I loved all the variations of Hamburger Helper…but today the frightening ingredient list means even withOUT allergies, I would not choose to feed those boxes to my family.
So how to make this a REAL FOOD meal? Come with me, and I will show you an easy way to make every kiddo happy with a yummy dinner!

Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and turn the heat to low.

Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. I’m lactose intolerant and enjoy healthy foods; finding this dairy-free gem made my day! I used organic beef and brown rice noodles, but I opted to skip the cheese (cheeze) as I wasn’t in the mood for a dish that rich. I did add a little nutritional yeast when the food was on my plate though to give it that salty, cheesy flavour. Thanks again – 5-star recipe and very simple to make.
It’s pure comfort food Leanne! Thank you so much for letting me know how it worked out for you!
My good friend brought over this for a dinner after my daughter was born, and everybody loved it. I making it regularly ever since.

Tried this out on the weekend. Perfect Sunday meal and now I have leftovers for the week (which I’m excited about)! Great flavour, very easy to make. My noodles suggested 7-10 minutes of cooking time but some how the 15 minute cooking time worked out in the recipe. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing on Mostly Homemade Mondays! I hope you join us again next week 🙂
